Lorry crash caught on camera

This is the terrifying moment a lorry driver came face-to-face with a motorist driving the wrong way down a dual-carriageway. The female driver of the Vauxhall Corsa is seen joining the busy A90 in Scotland via the exit slip road.

She then swerves to avoid one lorry leaving the road and ends up heading straight into the firing line of the other juggernaut. The Corsa driver then turns away from the 44-tonne truck and collides with the first lorry.

The driver of the second lorry loses control of his truck which rolls onto its side, spewing cement bags all over the road. Amazingly, no one was injured when the incident took place last Tuesday outside Aberdeen, with the whole event captured on the lorry driver’s Roadhawk GPS camera system.



Grampian Police shut the road for six hours while highway workers cleared the carriageway. A 20-year-old woman has been charged with dangerous driving.

There's video showing the aftermath here.
