A grandfather-of-four caught on camera the moment a car went careering over an embankment at 60mph to narrowly avoid a devastating head-on collision – due to an ‘idiotic overtake’.

Retired risk manager Chris Clough, 65, was heading home towards Billingham, Teeside, on the A66 when he spotted what he believes was a Toyota Rav4 SUV overtaking on the other side of the road.

However, attempting the overtake on a corner, the Toyota found itself face-to-face with the Ford Focus in front of Chris and instead opted to finish the overtake going around in a layby on the wrong side of the road.

But upon spotting that Chris was following behind the Focus, the car was then forced to instead mount the grass embankment and hurtled past Chris on the left hand side, apparently without braking.
