Dashcam footage has captured the moment a driver was killed when a car flew across the motorway and crashed into a tourist bus in Japan.

In the video an out-of-control car travels in mid-air over a safety barrier from an opposite lane of traffic, before crashing into a bus.

The vehicle collided on the Tomei Expressway, killing the driver of the passenger car and injuring more than 20 people at around 7.30am local time (22.30pm on Friday UK time) on Saturday.

The male driver of the car was declared dead at the scene and all of the 47 people who were aboard the bus were taken to hospital.

This isn't the first terrifying car crash footage captured on dashcam. Travis Carpenter was travelling from Indianapolis to Whitewater, Wisconsin, last year when he crashed his car at 70mph down an embankment.

He was singing a song by Christian rock band Casting Crowns when his car slid off the road in heavy rain.

Dashcam footage shows him belting out the line 'Now my life to you I give' before he screams out in fear.

Apparently Travis did not suffer any injuries in the crash and he says his car is still driveable.

He said: "I was going 70mph (speed limit) on I65 north. I travel the three-four hours by myself every time and use singing as a way to pass time, and critique it later.

"At this point I was practising a nasal type voice on a Casting Crowns song when the crash happened. I was watching the road and saw nothing that caused me to worry.

"[I] simply hydroplaned in heavy rain. My car slid sideways, and then I was completely backwards by the time I slid off the road and went down a small hill.

"I hit a mile marker sign (230) on my way off the road.

"Here are two of the most amazing parts: I sustained NO injuries.

"Not even a scratch. And my car took NO mechanical damage and is completely driveable. Only body damage."

Who knows, maybe God was watching over him
