Not a good situation to be in.

Bloody lucky it wasn't the car towing the CT getting hit. That would have ended up much worse.

WoW lucky the other guy was in a truck, still no good for all concerned.
Always wondered how some accidents occur, happy ending no one hurt I hope

From what I have read, the car driver moved left to give the truck room (although he didn't need too). I f you look at it, he moves to the left then realises there's a white roadside post in his path, he then yanks on the wheel towards the right (you can see he just misses the post), he obviously was going too fast and overcorrected and you can see the result. Not sure if there's sound on the link provided above, but if you look at Dashcam Owners Australia's page on Facebook, the audio is there (lots of expletives). The video is a bit longer too, it shows an oncoming car passing the truck quite safely.....

I saw the truck driver post this on facebook. I believe he must be a 4wder as I'm pretty sure it was on one of the 4wd facebook groups

It was on a carvan and camping fb here as well. The trailer looks to me like a tradie - maybe not a camper trailer. Not either any more I guess.
