A dog-walker narrowly avoided serious injury when she dodged a runaway bin lorry hurtling towards her.
The hair-raising escape was caught on dashcam in Sutton Coldfield, Birmingham, shortly before 8am on Wednesday.
The driver of a blue Vauxhall Corsa was filmed reversing rapidly out of the truck's path as it veered across the road and picked up speed.
The 26-tonne vehicle then mounted the pavement next to the dogwalker and smashed through a garden wall.
