The driver allegedly did not stop after he forced the driver of the car to swerve off Hopkins Highway in Warrnambool to avoid a collision on Wednesday about 9.15am.
Footage released by police shows the truck’s trailer fishtail on a sharp bend in the road, with the trailer veering into the path of an oncoming car near the intersection of Spring Flat Road.
“The other driver, a 36-year-old man, was forced to take evasive action and drove into a ditch to avoid being hit,” a police spokesperson said.

Fortunately, the local man and his five-year-old Labradoodle were not injured.
The truck driver continued on and did not check on the man.
Police are hoping someone may recognise the truck involved and contact police.
