Next week on Coronation Street, Betsy Swain will face a harrowing ordeal as a speeding car targets her in a shocking first-look preview. The teen is seen leaving an emotional voicemail for her mother, Lisa Swain, when a vehicle suddenly appears and races towards her in the Precinct carpark.
In the clip, Betsy, who is tipsy after celebrating her 18th birthday, stumbles through the carpark while recording a message for her mum. She apologises for their earlier argument and expresses her wish that Lisa would "back off" at times. As she speaks, she remains unaware of the car swerving around the corner behind her.
The car screeches closer just as Betsy tells her mum, "I know mum died, but that doesn't mean I'm gonna too." At that moment, she hears the vehicle and spins around to see it heading straight for her. She raises her hands and lets out a blood-curdling scream before the clip ends, leaving her fate unknown.
Earlier in the episode, Betsy clashes with Lisa and storms out to celebrate with friends. She later finds herself alone and drunk, unable to reach love interest Dylan Wilson, prompting her to call her mother. The voicemail message captures her apology and frustration, but the impending danger cuts it short.
The dramatic scenes tie into a recent trailer showing Lisa gasping in shock, suggesting she may hear the voicemail or discover something devastating. Viewers will have to wait to see if Betsy survives the terrifying encounter.
Coronation Street airs Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 8pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
