It shows the camper van following a bend in the road and suddenly coming head-on with a tipper truck driving in their lane.
The truck, a PJ Murphy tipper truck, is too late to indicate back into it’s own lane which is busy with cars.
With seconds to spare, it swerves into a ditch, narrowly avoiding hitting the camper van in a head-on crash.
The 15-second-clip was shared to a British Tipper Trucks Facebook page and shocked viewers expressed their horror in the comments.

Others pointed out the rules of the road, with Shaun Lazenby writing: ‘Police would be interested in the video, overtaking on a solid white line.’
Sam Hedges who posted the video wrote: ‘Got sent this from a friends dash cam A4260 Hopcrofts holt towards Banbury, just going down the hill after the dual carriageway.
‘The police were unable to do anything with the footage, due to a glitch in their system it went over the 14 days they have to action the event.’
