Police hunting dangerous ACT driver caught on dashcam missing cyclist by a hair

A cyclist in the ACT must be thanking his lucky stars after he narrowly avoided serious injury when a stolen car mounted a footpath and avoided swiping him by inches.

The heart stopping moment was caught on another motorist’s dashcam, and ACT Police are using the video to try and track down the dangerous driver.

The incident happened around 1.20pm on Northbourne Avenue in Canberra, on September 24.

The black Land Rover Freelander 2 involved in the incident was seen driving at high speed down the road before failing to stop for police and then mounting the curb.

The driver then clipped two other vehicles before speeding off.

It’s understood the Land Rover Freelander 2 was stolen from a home in Gungahlin on September 17.

Police are asking anyone who witness the incident or who may have dashcam footage of the vehicle to please contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
