Two e-scooter riders speeding along the pavement got a painful dose of instant karma after smashing face-first into each other.

Dash cam footage shows the pair coming together on a quiet road in Bedfordshire.

One, wearing dark clothing, can be seen swerving around the corner and up onto the pavement right as the other, dressed in a grey tracksuit, was approaching.

The force of the impact sends them crashing to the ground, with the man in grey tumbling into the road.

A woman in the car filming the whole thing is heard screaming: ‘Oh! Could see that happening!’

PIC FROM Kennedy News and Media (PICTURED: THE E-SCOOTER TEENS BEFORE THE CRASH ) These 'idiot teens' riding e-scooters on the pavement got 'instant karma' when they hurtled around a corner into a painful head-on crash - with each other. Richard Garbas was driving down an A road in Luton, Bedfordshire, when he spotted two boys on electric scooters without helmets on. The 44-year-old's dashcam footage shows one cruising down the pavement and one quickly turning the street corner before they collide in wince-inducing face-to-face crash.
