Untaxed minibus nearly crashes into cars on busy Blackpool road

Footage of the incident was sent into the Gazette by a concerned motorist, who gave her name as Natalie, who caught it on her dash camera.

The footage shows the silver Ford Transit minibus veering into oncoming cars on Devonshire Road

The minibus narrowly misses a silver Ford Focus and a red Vauxhall Astra as well as Natalie's car.

She said: "He nearly wrote my car off. He only swerved back onto his side of the road because I beeped my horn for so long. He then looks up from texting on his phone.

She explained the drivers of the Focus and Astra also saw the driver on his phone.

She added: "We all stopped to check every one was OK. The van didn’t even stop."

The former Montgomery High School student posted the video on Facebook and it has been shared more than 400 times.
