A Toyota Camry travelling southbound in the opposite lane, was then captured swerving into the left lane to avoid another truck, which meant the car was travelling on the wrong side of the road, moving towards the heavy vehicle.

Noticing the car, the truck driver slowed to a stop – but the Toyota continued driving towards it, crashing into it.
