A westbound Ford truck can be seen making an alarming pass while speeding through a busy intersection along Highway 97.

Travelling at a high rate of speed in the left lane of the two-lane highway, the white Ford cut across two empty, but dedicated, left-turn lanes at the intersection to illegally pass a car in front of it.

The Ford then swerved back into the left lane through the intersection, narrowly avoiding both the car and an eastbound vehicle in a left-turn lane.

The eastbound vehicle captured the entire incident via dashcam video, while waiting to make a left-hand turn from the highway onto Boucherie Road.
