Dashcam footage shows ute turning into path of barrelling road train
Shocking dashcam footage has captured the moment a ute suddenly turned into the path of a road train in Adelaide, narrowly avoiding a serious disaster.
The vision, taken on South Australia's Stuart Highway, shows the road train barrelling down the highway at high speeds, while a black utility attempts to make a right turn.
Seemingly unaware of the incoming train, the ute is suddenly clipped from the side, sending both vehicles spinning off in opposite directions.
