Incredible dashcam footage, posted on the Dash Cam Owners Australia Facebook page, has shown a truck carrying a load of around 40 tonnes heading down Mount Victoria's steep descent after losing its brakes.
The truckie gets on the horn to alert motorists as the out-of-control heavy-mover works its way through traffic, with a number of the cars heading over double lines to avoid an accident.
