This dramatic dashcam footage shows the moment a caravan was smashed to pieces on a lamppost after a car driver tried to overtake a lorry.
The car driver tried the maneuver after getting stuck behind HGV driver Nick Townley for several miles.
He gambled on finally passing Mr Townley's truck at a set of lights but badly miscalculated as the road narrowed and lost control at 50mph.
He swerved in front of the truck and his caravan whiplashed into a lamppost, smashing it into smithereens and spilling the contents across the road.
The car crashed on the opposite side of the road - narrowly missing oncoming traffic in Somerset - with what remained of the £10,000 caravan still attached.
