A SHOCKING video shows the moment a driver hit the ramp of a stationary tow truck before flying 120ft through the air and crashing into another car.

Police bodycam captured the airborne crash as police attended the scene of a previous incident on the road.

The video shows a grey car coming down one of the lanes on Highway 84, in Georgia, US, at full speed.

It then goes up the back of the truck and flips through the air, landing into a car in front seconds later.

The deputy sprints to help the driver, who survived the crash but was transported to South Georgia Medical Center near Valdosta.

Debris was seen scattered across the road and in the grass as the officer runs to the rescue.

The clip cuts out as the driver approaches the car, showing the extent of damage to the front of the rolled vehicle.

The Georgia State Patrol confirmed a Tallahassee woman, 21, was severely injured in the airborne crash, which is reported to have happened last Wednesday shortly before 11.30am.

That same day, ABC11 reported that officers had tried to interview the woman about the cause for the collision, but her injuries are reportedly keeping her from speaking. 

A deputy was also taken to hospital after being hit by flying debris.

No other injuries were reported.

It is not clear whether the driver would face charges related to the accident, neither the cause of the crash on the other side of the road.

Georgia State Patrol Lt. Crystal Zion told ABC News that the crash stresses the importance of Georgia’s Move Over Law.

It requires drivers to move over one lane where possible if an emergency vehicle is parked on the shoulder of a highway.

“It takes out the distractions of driving fast or phones or other people in the car," he said.

"Basically, you know, when you see those lights to slow down, move over."

If traffic is too heavy to do so safely, motorists are expected to slow down to the posted speed limit instead and be prepared to stop.

The Move Over Law is currently applied in 30 US states, with fines going up to thousands of dollars. In Georgia, drivers can be fined $500.
