Pick up truck driver loses control and hits central barrier on highway

A dramatic video has emerged of a pick up truck swerving and hitting the central barrier on a highway in San Francisco, CA, USA.

The footage, shot with a dashcam on August 16, shows the truck spinning around after the impact before stopping in the middle of the road.

"It appears that the driver's rear right tire had an issue," the filmer wrote online.

"The truck started going right, over corrected and went to my lane before hitting the center barrier."

"I was able to stop on time and avoid an accident. All parties involved was ok," he added.
