Dramatic footage has emerged of the moment a driver on the B5405 in Stafford, UK had to suddenly swerve and avoid a lorry that pulled out from nowhere.

The video, captured by a dashcam earlier this month, shows the lorry suddenly pull out from a side road - forcing the driver to veer left before swerving 180 degrees and coming to a stop.

The filmer, who was driving a Citroen Saxo, added online: "Then the lorry driver had the nerve to drive off", saying friends had described the scene as like "something from a movie".
