Lorry filmed speeding towards oncoming traffic on M5 before narrowly missing Porsche
Peter Stone, 55, was driving home from a family trip to St Agnes in his Porsche 911 when a lorry suddenly came crashing towards him on the M5 in Devon, leaving him just two seconds to react Shocking new footage shows the moment a lorry hurtled across the central reservation of the M5 and sped the wrong way down a packed motorway, narrowly avoiding a £100,000 Porsche. Peter Stone, 55, was motoring home from a family holiday to St Agnes in his Porsche 911 when a lorry came hurtling towards him between junction 28 and junction 29 - between Cullompton and Exeter - at 12.23pm on Friday, August 1. The father-of-two - who was travelling northbound in the right-hand lane - had mere seconds to react to dodge what could have been a deadly collision. He managed to veer into the middle lane with just moments to spare, as the lorry driver ploughed the wrong way down the packed carriageway. It comes after a man died after wife ran him over in a car park in 'tragic accident '. Peter, who operates a fleet of vehicles for a waste company and is from Reading, Berkshire, said: "It literally came out of nowhere. I think I had less than two seconds to move before getting flattened by the tipper driver.", reports Wales Online. "It was quite difficult, my car is quite low down and the black car (in front) sort of obscured my view. I only really saw the truck - luckily it was yellow, so your peripheral vision can pick up bright colours and stuff. "The black car moved out in front of me, I had a white motorhome beside me and I managed to go in between them. It was just a reflex reaction really. I'm very surprised no-one actually smashed into the truck. "I did speak to the transport company because I wanted to make sure no-one was injured before offering to share the footage. I pulled over straight away and called 999, assuming there was going to be some serious injuries. Fortunately, as far as I'm aware, no one was injured - which is quite remarkable." Peter recorded the shocking scenes on his front and rear dashcams, which had been fitted by the dealership when he bought the car back in December. Peter, who holds an HGV licence himself, said: "You've seen videos of trucks crossing central reservations, but for it to happen straight in front of you is bizarre. "Until I reviewed the video I hadn't even realised I was in the fast lane. In my recall I thought I must have been in the middle lane, there's no way I could have been in the third lane. "I've had two nights of uninterrupted sleep replaying it in my mind, trying to come to terms with basically probably being two seconds from serious injury or even worse." A National Highways spokesperson confirmed no serious injuries had been reported following the smash. Police and paramedics rushed to the scene of the crash. The motorway was shut in both directions for just over an hour, with lanes one and two reopening at around 1.30pm to traffic. Repair work was carried out overnight and the road fully reopened at around 3.30am on Saturday morning, the spokesperson confirmed. Devon and Cornwall Police and South West Ambulance Service were contacted for comment.
