A driver is lucky to be alive after a head on collision on Incinerator Road near Foxtrap.

Traffic was at a standstill both ways after a head-on collision between a car and a dump truck near the Highway maintenance Depot on Incinerator Road.

Coming around a sharp turn, a silver car appears to have smashed head-on into the truck. The larger vehicle rode up over the car, crushing the windshield and pinning the driver between his seat and the dash as his car veered into a ditch.

The driver of the truck was also injured when his vehicle veered off the road away from the car and struck a boulder.
