A north-west man in his 60s has died after a two-vehicle crash on the Bass Highway at Carrick this morning.<\/p>\n

Footage obtained by Pulse appears to show a white Subaru being driven erratically in the area shortly before the crash.<\/p>\n

The car was captured undertaking vehicles and driving on the shoulder as it attempted to pass a truck on the inside.<\/p>\n

Police are expected to provide further details on the incident later this afternoon. <\/p>\n

\u201cAnyone with information about the crash or dash cam footage from the area at the time should contact police on 131 444 or Crime Stoppers Tasmania anonymously,\u201d a spokesperson said.<\/p>\n
