This dashcam footage shows the terrifying moment a caravan driver careered into a barrier as he tried to overtake a truck
The shocking video shows the white four-wheel drive roaring past the big rig in the outside lane before losing control of the camper van it was towing.
The male driver was driving along the M1 on Monday when he smashed into the barrier and ended up in a ditch at the side of the road.
Fortunately the truck driver senses danger when the vehicle passed by and slowed down to give it space.
The truck driver, called Paul, sent the footage into the Dash Cam Owners Australia Facebook page.
Along with the video, he said: ‘How not, to overtake a B double when towing a caravan. Old mate was a bit shaken but OK.’
