A driver's dash cam has captured a heart-stopping moment when his vehicle slammed into a head-on collision with a truck.
The footage shows a red Mazda hatchback driving along Kingsford Smith Drive in Brisbane when a truck turned onto the Gateway Motorway at a red arrow and onto oncoming traffic.
The black ute on the right lane can be seen stopping at the intersection in time to avoid a near-miss collision as the truck made its turn.
But it appears the driver of the red vehicle, known only as Brad, did not attempt to brake or swerve at the time.
Dash Cam Owners Australia, which shared the video on their page, assured that no one had sustained any serious injuries and the driver of the car suffered a minor whiplash.
The horrific video (Not by LL standards) has accumulated almost 500 shares and has received a significant amount of mixed responses from members of the public.

Leon Davis posted: 'Remember the camera isn't in line with the driver so he would have seen the truck after the camera does hence why he had little time to brake.'
