Watch: Aussie truck driver blacks out, swerves into oncoming traffic before crashing into car

October 11, 2017

An Australian truck has drifted over numerous lanes and crashed into an oncoming car after the driver blacked out behind the wheel.

The truck was travelling down Devlin Road in Ryde, Sydney yesterday when it slammed into in a 4WD drive.

Adam Rando's dash camera caught the whole accident on camera.

The footage shows the truck swerving across the lanes before veering over to oncoming traffic.

The reverse angle of the video shows the four-wheel drive moments after it's been hit by the truck.

Police told 9 News the truck driver, a 34-year-old man, was taken to hospital following the crash.

"It is believed the man may have suffered a medical episode prior to the crash."

A 46-year-old woman believed to be the driver of the 4WD was also taken to hospital with a "gash on her upper arm".
