This is the heart-stopping moment a runaway caravan almost hits a passing car after breaking free from a van’s towbar.

Daniel Zavodny was driving a HGV through Kirton, Lincolnshire, when he spotted the terrifying near miss in late August.

Dashcam footage from the lorry shows the blue Ford van travel around a corner on a quiet rural road with a caravan in tow.

All seems well as it continues along the road – but seconds later the caravan breaks free from its towbar.

The runaway hurtles into the path of oncoming traffic just as a white four-door car approaches.

Luckily, the driver quickly breaks and swerves the caravan – barely avoiding a crash.

The white motor-home then comes to a stop on a grass verge at the side of the road as smoke floods the road.

The driver of the white car flashes their hazard lights in the middle of the lane – but Mr Zavodny confirmed no one was hurt.

He said: ‘I stopped and ask all the other drivers if they were injured. Luckily no one was.

‘Everybody was fine so I left the scene without calling the police. The caravan had around £1,000 worth of damage.’
