Police have released dashcam footage of a near-collision between a truck and a motorcycle on a rural road in southern Tasmania as part of the investigation to identify the parties involved.

The incident came to light recently after a member of the public submitted dashcam footage of it to police.

Police are calling for information to identify the truck and its driver, and the two motorcycle riders in the incident, which occurred on Highland Lakes Road, Apsley, at 11.59am on Saturday, 2 May.

No crash was reported to police.

In the video, the truck is seen to swerve across double lines on multiple occasions and, when taking a bend in the road, narrowly avoids a collision with a motorcycle rider coming in the opposite direction.

Tasmania Police Inspector Vanessa Castle described the footage as ‘frightening’.

“It was a very close call and could have had a tragic outcome,” Inspector Castle said.

“Police are investigating the incident and are eager to identify the vehicles involved and to speak with the driver of the heavy vehicle.

“The footage was supplied to police via the owner of the dashcam in a vehicle following the truck.

“The two motorcycle riders are not known at this stage, and we are looking to have them come forward to assist in the investigation.”
