A reckless driver was just inches from causing a potentially horrific head-on crash in Tasman on Sunday.
Nelson, Marlborough, West Coast Police captured the incident on dashcam and are appealing for help finding the driver of a dark-coloured BMW.
The car flies around the corner in the wrong lane and at high speed in the video, narrowly missing an oncoming vehicle.
"This was very nearly a devastating high-speed head-on crash that would have almost certainly ended in fatality had it occurred," Senior Constable Matt Harris said.
The near-miss occurred on Moutere Highway near Gardner Valley Road around 2pm on Sunday.
