Shocking footage has emerged of a driver overtaking a lorry on a busy north-east road and narrowly avoiding a catastrophic collision.
The incident happened at around 3.50pm on Friday on the A98 Fraserburgh to Banff road and was captured by a dashcam in a nearby lorry.
The video shows a blue Vauxhall Astra overtaking the HGV as the vehicles approach a right hand bend while a vehicle approaches on the other carriageway.
In a heart-in-mouth moment, the driver of the blue Vauxhall slams on the brakes and avoids clipping the onrushing van by only inches.
