This is the moment a US driver narrowly avoids crashing into a car that pulls out in front of him on a freeway near Scottsdale, Arizona.

Dashcam footage from March 25 shows the driver, Josh West, swerving just in time to dodge a car performing a dangerous overtake.

West then skids down the highway as he tries to regain control of his truck.

West told Newsflare, "By some miracle I got out of the whole thing without a scratch, contacting neither the car or the wall.''
