VIDEO: Dash-cam footage catches dramatic moment dog-walker nearly DECAPITATED by lorry
This dash-cam footage shows the moment a dog-walker was nearly decapitated into by the back end of a passing lorry.
The incident, caught on camera by the owner of Shenstone based car accessories business Auto Elite, took place on Brownhills High Street.
It was a lucky escape for the woman, who came close to serious injury as a trucker turned his vehicle, causing the rear to swing across the pavement.
The woman – walking on the pavement in the same direction as the lorry – was only saved from an horrific injury by her quick thinking.
The dramatic footage was filmed on a dashcam by businessman Anthony Hamilton-Clarke.
It showed shoppers also on the pavement stunned that she avoided serious injury.
Anthony runs Shenstone-based car modifications and electrics business Auto Elite and sells the type of camera on which the footage was recorded.
The video has been shared more than 600 times from the company's Facebook page, prompting calls from customers and members of the public to find the driver.
Mr Hamilton-Clarke said: "We haven't found anyone yet but the video has had a lot of attention.
"I caught the moment on a dashboard camera that I was testing out at the time, which was quite fortunate.
"I do think the driver needs to be found, it was incredibly dangerous what happened.
"The woman was really really lucky, it is incredible really."
The footage was originally shared by the company on Sunday morning, with a message that read: "If anyone would like to take this further and prevent this happening again feel free to do so.
"The next person may not be so lucky."
