A Learning Event Bulletin and Toolbox related to Driving-Collision.
What Happened?
The driver of a light vehicle took evasive action (defensive braking) to avoid colliding with an unsecured item that fell off the back of an overtaking utility vehicle.The light vehicle was at the front of a line of vehicles that compressed due to the unexpected braking by the front vehicle. One of these was a heavy vehicle that swerved out sharply into the oncoming traffic lane to avoid a read-end collision, and then swerved back in again to avoid a head-on collision with a road train travelling in the opposite direction.
