Near head-on collision on TCH captured by dashcam

A dashcam video taken on Newfoundland's west coast shows a harrowing near-collision between a truck and a semi, and RCMP say they expect to lay charges in the investigation.

The video shows a truck passing a vehicle on the Trans-Canada Highway on a solid line, and in wet weather with a semi truck approaching in the other direction.

The driver of the truck darts back into the right-hand lane just as the semi passes, narrowly avoiding a crash.

David S. Knee posted the video which was taken near South Branch, near Port aux Basques to Facebook on Sunday.

RCMP on Tuesday said there was an investigation started on Sept. 12, before police were made aware of the video.

"Apparently there has been a driving complaint about this vehicle/motorist and the RCMP responded to that complaint," a spokesperson said in a statement to CBCNews, adding the vehicle had been located.

"In light of this video, we anticipate charges will be laid."

RCMP said they expect to release more information later in the week.
