A Global News viewer captured some dangerous driving along a windy road in the Central Okanagan.

The incident happened along Westside Road, and involved a large SUV passing two vehicles, including one hauling a fifth-wheel/travel trailer.

In suddenly passing the leading vehicle and the one immediately behind it, the white SUV crossed over a double-sold line, with a curve ahead.

Westside Road is a notoriously dangerous road, and was labelled as the worst road in B.C. three times by BCAA.
