Woolworths truck narrowly avoids crash on windy Adelaide Hills road
Alarming pictures have emerged of a Woolworths delivery truck driver narrowly avoiding oncoming cars on a windy Adelaide Hills road.
The footage appeared as a police blitz on drivers behaving badly continued.
It shows a driver dicing with death, while a man in the vehicle behind can be heard saying: “why would you go on that side of the road now when you don't know what's coming around that f***ing bend?”
A woman can also be heard as she exclaims “oh my god”.
The pictures were captured on the Gawler to One Tree Hill road.
The Woolworths delivery driver was filmed swerving and veering onto the wrong side of the road, narrowly missing oncoming cars.
“He's all over the road and when a car comes he goes on their side of the road,” a woman in the video says.
Woolworths said it takes road safety seriously and was investigating.
The footage came as police re-issued a warning to motorists driving dangerously in the Adelaide Hills.
Last Sunday, 21 motorcyclists and 47 car drivers were caught speeding on roads around Macclesfield.
“Last year, we had eleven people die on our roads that were riding motorcycles,” Supt. Anthony Fioravanti said.
One motorcyclist and four car drivers were detected travelling at more than 30km/h over the speed limit.
“The risk of having accidents when you speed or when you're under the influence goes up dramatically,” the Road Safety Minister Peter Malinauskas said.
Police said they would continue their Hills safety blitz.
“We already have a high presence in the hills and the covert speed cameras is one of our tactics,” said Supt. Fioravanti.
Mr Malinauskas warned road users: “Don't speed, don't drink and don't use drugs when you drive”.
