Just as the vehicle approaches a junction , the white Aygo traveling in the opposite direction turns right directly into his path . The accident took place on the A586 Great Eccleston bypass at St Michael 's on Wyre in Lancashire , in August last year , but details have only just emerged . 'It is a miracle that no one was more seriously hurt given that it was a serious head-on smash at 50mph , said Mr Kay . ' I had very little time to brake because she turned right in front of me due to a lapse in concentration . ' I feared the worst afterwards because she was trapped in her vehicle but thankfully she was not badly hurt , and was cut out by the Lancashire Fire and Rescue . 'My wife and I were protected by airbags and were okay , too . All the emergency services were brilliant at the scene . ' The medic initially denied liability but was caught out because Mr Kay had captured the whole incident on his SmartWitness dashcam . The retired engineer , who has had a clean driving licence for 50 years , bought a Smartwitness dashcam because he wanted to be able to produce evidence in the unfortunate case he was involved in a car crash . The smash was captured on the dashcamin the Citroen Picasso belonging to Colin Kay , who has had a clean driving licence for 50 years . The medic pulled her Toyota Aygo straight into the path of the on-coming Citroen Picasso . Mr Kay said he did not have time to react and avoid an impact with the white coloured Toyota Aygo . Both cars were written off as a result of the crash , but fortunately no one was seriously injured . 'She was rushing to work in the morning when the accident happened , ' he said . ' I contacted the police because I was keen to see a full prosecution to stop more careless driving . 'But nothing has been done because the investigating officer went off sick and they could not prepare the paperwork in time . 'The only way our roads are going to become safer is when motorists driving carelessly like this are punished . 'My wife and I were very lucky that we were not more seriously hurt and we have very disappointed that no police action has been taken in this case . ' Mark Berry , SmartWitness sales director , said : 'This accident perfectly shows the value of our cameras . The mangled wreckage of Mr Kay 's Citroen Picasso after the 50mph impact in St Michael's-on-Wyre , Lancashire . 'You have a collision where one driver is very clearly at fault but initially is disputing liability . ' I very much doubt that her insurers would have settled so readily if they had not been presented with the SmartWitness footage . The camera never lies . ' A spokesperson for Lancashire Police said : 'Officers attended the scene and carried out a thorough investigation . 'An accident report was submitted with a recommendation for the driver to attend a Drivers ' Alertness Course . 'Unfortunately the officer in the case was off sick and the report was not processed within the allocated time frame for prosecution . '
