Dashcam footage captures the gut-wrenching moment a giant lorry swerves across four motorway lanes and mangles a van against the central reservation.
Danny Walsh and fellow tradie Rick Webster were left shocked and angry after the HGV crossed into their lane without indicating as they drove to work from Manchester along the M62 near Bradford, West Yorkshire, last month.

Danny's video was posted to Facebook where
