A lorry driver on a busy stretch of road narrowly avoided disaster when he slammed on his brakes to avoid a car making a U-turn into his path.
Dash cam footage captured the truck travelling at about 40mph when it suddenly swerved across the road to avoid a blue car as it swung out.
The trucker clipped the car’s front bumper but managed to avoid a major collision.
The driver behind had only micro-seconds to react, somehow managing to halt his own car without hitting the blue car which contained a female driver and two rear passengers.

As the stunned drivers sat still blocking both lanes, traffic merely slowed down and passed either side of them in Mytishchi, Russia, north east of Moscow.
The blue car appeared to be largely undamaged, while the lorry seemed to lose a wheel arch and a smashed rear light.
Commenting on the video posted to YouTube yesterday, one person said: ‘Why is she stopping in the middle of the road after the accident?
‘There is no rule that says you must stop your car wherever it was when it happened.
‘Just move it out of the way!’
Another shocked viewer added: ‘She cannot be serious!’
Incredibly no one seemed to be injured in the accident, as the driver behind was seen getting out to inspect his own car which stopped just a couple of feet from the blue car.
Its occupants seemed to be in a state of shock however, possibly explaining why it had not moved out of the road.
