A lorry driver in Cambridgeshire narrowly avoided disaster after having a near-miss with an overtaking white van man going the other way.

On the morning of October 10, 2019, at approx 7:00am the driver, who wishes to remain anonymous, was driving on his way to work along the B645, Kimbolton.

The driver commented: "This stretch of road is notorious for accidents. Since the road is quite long people often try and overtake the cars if it's safe to do so, but in all of my driving career I have never seen anything like this!

"A van out of nowhere just keeps coming and coming towards me! I have all my lights on, and it's like the van driver is blind!

"The van driver doesn't even slow down, and I'm blasting my horn and flashing my lights at him.

"To this day I don't know how we didn't hit head on! I count my lucky stars, and I went and put the lottery on after this accident!

"The van driver did not stop, and luckily I swerved in time, and he only hit my mirror! I managed to trace the van driver via the company name on his van which I captured on my dashcam!

"The van driver admitted he was in the wrong and paid out and we left it at that. I have a feeling if I sent this video to the police the van driver might not be still driving!"
