Police this afternoon released dashcam vision of a truck travelling along the North South Motorway at 5.20am on Thursday September 28.

As the truck approached the Port Wakefield off ramp at Waterloo Corner, it brakes suddenly to avoid a white car which has driven the wrong way up the ramp.

The truck driver loses control as the vehicle slides off the road and flips over, knocking down a light pole.

Police want to identify the driver and vehicle, a white sedan with black trim on the doors.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
