Shocking moment truck veers across road while overtaking narrowly avoiding crash

This is the shocking moment a large truck suddenly veered across the road while attempting to overtake - narrowly avoiding a catastrophe.

Dashcam footage filmed in December last year in Sichuan, China, shows the terrifying close call.

A large truck can be seen overtaking a white car, but as it starts to move to the left side of the road, the driver notices a vehicle approaching.

The trucker makes a last-minute decision not to overtake and veers back into the right lane in a bid to avoid colliding with the oncoming vehicle.
