LONDON -- Grim footage of a crash that took place during last weekend's British Touring Car Championship event has been published online.

In the clip above, which was shared on YouTube by Richard Howlett, cars line up for the start of the last day's race at Snetterton Race Track.

Things start to go wrong as one of the cars collides with the right-hand barrier, leading to a mini pileup that eventually causes one car to flip onto its side and come pinwheeling towards the edge of the track.

Thankfully, according to ITV, no one was seriously injured in the incident.
