OUT OF CONTROL Watch as van swerves in front of massive truck before flipping onto its roof

A VAN swerved in front of a truck and flipped onto its roof just before getting on a motorway, footage shows.

The back of the vehicle clipped the front corner of the juggernaut, which pushed it sideways and made it roll over into a lamppost.

The van had been driving in the right-hand lane on a roundabout when it suddenly tried to cut in front of the lorry to get onto the M61 slip road near Bolton, Greater Manchester.

But the lorry was in the left-hand lane and driving straight past the slip-road to stay on the roundabout, the footage shared online this month showed.

Only minor injuries are understood to have been reported after the crash in May.

The HGV driver stopped after the crash, as did another van behind it which had the same company branding as the one that flipped.
