captionPIC FROM MERCURY PRESS (PICTURED: THE DAIRY TRUCK AND THE MINI CAN BE SEEN BOTH APPROACHING THE JUNCTION IN FIR TREE IN DURHAM) This is the hair-raising moment a huge dairy lorry narrowly avoided crushing a Mini by INCHES as the driver ploughs through a junction without checking.Duncan Blakemore caught the terrifying near-miss between the Arla truck and the car on camera at 9.10pm as he was getting ready for bed at his girlfriends house in Fir Tree, Durham.The 32-year-old feared the worst when he heard screeching brakes and horns coming from the junction leading onto the A68 and rushed over to the window.Duncan said: That was almost a serious, serious crash. If the HGV had been slightly more forward then there would have been a death or serious injury. SEE MERCURY COPY
