Video: driver has a very close shave

We're not sure of the provenance of this video, other than the fact someone named 'WendyCobb’ uploaded it to YouTube and is insistent that it hasn't been mocked up or faked.

It is, however, well worth a watch if you need to wake yourself up. And a visceral reminder that if you're carrying loads on a flat-bed or on your roof, make sure they're tied down properly...Warning: this is probably not for those of a nervous disposition.

UPDATE: US site Jalopnik has tracked down the woman who took the video, 40-year-old Wendy Cobb from North Carolina.
