The video was posted to Youtube today by HGV Dash Cam Footage.
The video is captioned:
“An accident my other half had last year. It’s now been to court and the dim woman failed to turn up to the driver awareness course she was supposed to attend. She tried beating my husband to the cones and clipped the front of his truck. Uninsured, on a provisional license and her 18-month-old kid in a baby seat in the back not strapped in properly. He checked his mirrors and seen her in the lane behind him, next time he saw her, seconds later, this happened. Fortunately, they were OK but my husband would have been arrested if he hadn’t had a dash cam! This is what truck drivers have to put up with on a daily basis.”

As the truck is traveling in the left lane of what appears to be a highway under construction, the lanes can be seen getting more and more narrow.
As the truck has almost made it to the section of the highway blocked into one lane, an SUV tries to pass sharply on the right.
There is obviously not enough room for the vehicle to pass. The driver of the SUV loses control and makes swerves to the right. They then slam into the side railing.
