VIDEO: Near-miss between van and car on Highland road caught on dash-cam

The moment a van and car almost collided on a Highland road has been caught on a nearby motorist’s dash cam.

John Trenchard was driving along the A855 from Portree to Staffin from the dentist behind the white van and recorded the incident.

The clip appears to show a black car heading in the opposite direction on the wrong side of the road. It manages to swerve the white van heading towards it, and avoid a collision.

Mr Trenchard said he has only recently moved to the island but has heard from locals that “it’s pretty common for tourists to drive like this”.

“Most of the responses I’ve had to the video have been shock with the rest mostly being annoyed at the driving”, he added.
