HGV driver swerves wildly to avoid wrong-way driver on UK motorway
- 6 years ago
This is the terrifying moment an HGV driver narrowly misses a hatchback that was travelling in the wrong direction down the motorway.
Dash cam video captured on May 14 on the M5 motorway between junctions four and three shows the heart-stopping moment the HGV driver realises what is happening.
The driver said: "Nothing quite prepared me for this level of stupidity.
"Even still, I'm not sure whether or not this was a mistake on the driver's behalf or it was a deliberate act of dangerous driving.
"If I'd have blinked at the wrong time or wasn't able to move into lane two, it could have been a lot worse!"
The HGV driver spoke to West Midlands police and was told no action is being taken against the offending driver.
