Overtaking trucks is always risky business, and even more so if it’s a truck doing the overtaking.

A truck driver was killed and his assistant badly injured in a head-on collision with another truck between Kriel and Bethal in Mpumalanga, reports Times LIVE.

The accident was captured on four different cameras on one of the trucks, showing different angles from inside and outside the vehicle.

The footage shows a small vehicle being forced off the road by the oncoming speeding truck.

The truck then exits the lane from behind another truck in an attempt to overtake, missing one truck which veered off the road, and almost immediately hits a smaller on-coming truck head-on at high speed.

The smaller truck comes to a standstill upside down, before the overtaking truck halts on second contact. Take a look:

And we thought that truck getting blown over by the wind was bad.

If you’re going to be travelling over the holiday season, be safe out there.
