Swerving truckie nearly hits Queensland cop head-on

A truck driver who nearly took out a Queensland motorcycle cop in a head-on collision has been banned from driving.

Body-cam footage from the officer shows the semi-trailer veering over the double-white lines into the path of oncoming traffic in Glenorchy south of Hervey Bay.

The policeman had to steer into the emergency lane to avoid almost-certain death in the near-miss in August.

Police described the officer as "lucky to be alive".

The 54-year-old driver was intercepted by police soon afterwards.

He was disqualified from driving for six months and fined $2500.
