Thomas Hoang was visiting the mountain top the night of October 7 when an oncoming car lost control and skidded towards him.
In a hair-raising moment captured on Mr Hoang’s dashcam, the car crosses double lines, rotates and slams into the front of Mr Hoang’s Honda Civic.
The vehicle did not have number plates.
“People were doing burnouts at the top of the mountain and I’ve guessing that’s what he was there for,” Mr Hoang told the Mercury.
“He took a corner too sharp and drifted.
“If he keeps it up he's going to kill someone.”
The crash caused $8000 worth of damage to Mr Hoang’s car. He faces a $2000 insurance excess.
He shared the video on Dash Cam Owners Australia in the hope witnesses or anyone with information about the drivers’ identity will email him (thomas.hoang@live.com) or contact police.
A sympathiser led him to the car – which he found had been been partly damaged by fire.
Meantime, the matter is under police investigation.
