Overtaking lorry causes oncoming driver to swerve and topple over

This is the shocking moment a truck driver attempted to overtake on a bend - causing the oncoming lorry to swerve and topple over.

The vehicle was seen passing on the outside of another truck in Phu Tho province, Vietnam on May 21.

However, the blind spot on the bend meant that the driver could not see the approaching traffic.

Dashcam footage shows how the truck in front had to quickly swerve, but lost control and toppled over.

While the offending driver crashed onto a nearby driveway.

A local motorist captured the accident on the narrow road, which residents say is prone to accidents as there are large numbers of trucks.

The driver said: "We were not hurt, and the truck driver was able to get out without serious injuries.

I think he was feeling sleepy at that time." No one was seriously hurt in the incident except for the truck drivers who had minor bruises.
