Close call on Perth's Stirling Highway captured by dash cam

Published: January 17 2017 - 4:48PM

It's tough to watch - and the only saving grace is that no one was hurt.

One Perth motorist must be counting their lucky stars after dash cam footage captured a very close call on Stirling Highway in Nedlands, where the line between close call and disaster was very fine indeed.

The footage shows a grey Mazda 2 cruising along Stirling Highway towards the city in the right hand lane when vehicles ahead stop to turn across traffic at an intersection.

The driver of the Mazda doesn't notice though, and continues driving at regular speed until it's too late, swerving at the very last second around a ute, clipping the tray and scraping the left hand side of the car.

"Holy f--- , Jesus!" the driver of the car with the dash cam yells.

Lucky for the Mazda's driver there is a lined section of road in between the lanes - a head on collision would have been on the cards if they swerved any wider.
