The truck then starts veering over the central line of the road into the path of the vehicle ahead.

The car attempts to move, but the lorry smashes into its side, sending the vehicle spinning off towards the petrol station.

Debris shoots through the air and a horn can be heard sounding loudly.

However, the truck keeps moving and heads directly towards the dashcam car.

It hurtles towards the car and the driver exclaims: ‘S***’, however it just misses the front of the vehicle and rolls straight past.
