THIS is the terrifying moment that a caravan raced into oncoming traffic before smashing head on into a car.
Dramatic footage shows how the caravan detached itself from the car and caused the huge crash on the A629, near Skipton in North Yorkshire.
The vehicle then hit a motorbike before colliding with the front of a white Dacia Sandero during the incident in April of this year.
Dash-cam video shows the quick thinking of the driver to avoid the oncoming hazard, and managed to get out of the way with just a few small scratches to their vehicle.
It is understood that there were only minor injuries caused by the high speed collision, which left drivers baffled as to how it became untethered.
One caravan enthusiast who saw the video has described it as “preventable” and praised the drivers “superb” driving skills to avoid the collision.
Another added: “Well done to the motorcyclist that managed to stay upright after being clipped by the side of the van. Must have been a scary moment on two wheels for that rider.
“It looks like not only did he fail to secure and check the hitch properly but he also didn't attach the breakaway cable.
“The brakes on that caravan didn't come on at all, it's a simple and very reliable system.
“Could have killed someone through basic negligence.”
A third branded the driver as “stupid”, going on to say that everyone was “very lucky” to escape with no injuries.
North Yorkshire Police were unable to comment on the incident when approached by The Sun.
