Dashcam captures terrifying moment caravan flips over on dual carriageway

A motorist has captured the dramatic moment a caravan overtakes his vehicle before flipping over on a busy dual carriageway.

The shocking dashcam footage shows a large caravan being towed by a silver four-wheel drive Toyota whose driver loses control as he overtakes.

The car violently swerves from side to side before rolling at least twice and ending up on its roof on the opposite side of the carriageway.

Debris is left strewn across the road, with the caravan also on its roof on the southbound side.

The footage was shared with DevonLive by Dan Combellack, who caught the whole crash unfolding in front of him on Wednesday afternoon.

Miraculously, the driver only suffered minor injuries and police said no one else was on board.

The crash meant the A380 was closed between Exeter and Newton Abbot for much of yesterday afternoon.

Diversions were in place on the A38 through Drum Bridges. One lane northbound was also closed near the Ideford Dip.

Delays continued until well after 5pm.
