The incident took place on January 4 after another car lost control at around 60mph and smashed into his vehicle, destroying it completely.
The video begins with Ed cruising along the Midlothian road through the dark, taking all the turns carefully. This continues for the first part of the dashcam footage before bright headlights appear before and the cars smash together followed by a large bang.
Police attended the two car smash and the other driver admitted liability at the scene.
Speaking to Edinburgh Live, the 48-year-old, said: "I escaped relatively unharmed from what could have been easily have been a fatal or very nasty head on collision.
"I was driving along a straight road south of Edinburgh minding my own business when an oncoming car lost control and crossed the centre white line straight into the front corner of my car doing 55mph, ripping the driver side wheel off, disabling both steering and brakes, caving in the driver side footwell to half its width and making short work of the driver’s side door, wing and floor.
"With only the left front wheel the car pulled straight left into a field. No trees on that section of road.
"The preceding miles are all lined with big lumpy mature trees, had I been a split second later the oncoming car would be right in front and not glancing.
"A 100+mph combined impact. All captured in 4k on my recently fitted dash camera.
