Terrifying video shows the moment a fuel tanker swerved onto the wrong side of a busy WA highway, almost causing a crash.

It’s a frightening near-miss that could have been deadly.

The vision was captured on the last day of school holidays, not far from Albany.

It could now become evidence in a police investigation.

The 40-tonne fuel truck was captured on the wrong side of Albany Highway, headed straight for oncoming traffic.

A family was in the car behind.

“He could have wiped out a family heading in the other direction, and had to live with that consequence.,” WA Police Minister Michelle Roberts said after viewing the footage.
