Shocking footage shows the moment a car narrowly missed hitting into an oncoming vehicle on a "notorious" road in Conwy .

The dramatic video was captured on a dash cam and shows a vehicle careering out of control across the oncoming lane and almost causing a head-on collision.

The car then ploughs in to the grass verge before coming to a stop.

Incredibly, nobody was injured in the incident, which happened on Sunday, April 28, at around 10.30pm*.

The crash was recorded on Alison Hughes' dash cam as she travelled along the unlit Llanrwst Road near The Groes pub on her way to Conwy .

The 57-year-old has described the incident as "terribly frightening" and says she at first feared someone in the other vehicle had been seriously injured or killed.

Mrs Hughes said: "It's a notorious bend and if you don't know the roads it can be very dangerous.

"It's 60mph which I think is just too fast because if you don't brake soon enough that's it, you just lose it.

"There have been several serious accidents on this road, some of them fatal.

"I'm always very cautious here, especially when it's raining, which it was on this occasion."

She added: "When I stopped and got out of the car it honestly crossed my mind that I might find the person in the other vehicle dead at the wheel, I just didn't know what to expect.

"I came to a stop in the lay-by and got out of the car and could see that she'd come full circle and was now facing my way on the right side of the road.

"Thankfully she was OK and came running towards me to apologise, she was crying and was very shaken up and said 'I thought I was going to hit you'.

"Thankfully in this instance it wasn't serious but it could have been.

"It's about time the speed limit was brought down to prevent accidents from happening in the future."

North Wales Police confirmed that they attended the scene and that no one was injured.

* The time on the dashcam clock had been set incorrectly.
