In video obtained of the incident by 7 News, at least two fellow motorists can be seen trying to pry open the driver's door of the moving vehicle, with the driver inside.

According to Western Sydney Local Health District's media team, the 42-year-old driver is currently in a critical condition at Westmead Hospital.

The damaged vehicle was later towed away from the scene.

Taking on a spinning four wheel drive is probably not how these good samaritans thought they'd spend the day.

From Twitter:
