Narrative:
Inbound to cxy at 2500 ft MSL, I heard cxy tower clear another aircraft for takeoff runway 26 with instructions to fly runway heading. I was south of departure heading from runway 26, inbound on visual approach to runway 30. Tower called traffic to me at 11 O'clock departing runway 26 runway heading. When I acquired traffic visually, it had turned left of runway heading and was on a direct collision course with my aircraft. I took evasive action to the left (north) and other aircraft passed +/-200 ft off my right side at my altitude, climbing. As I turned, I advised tower I had traffic. Upon releasing microphone, I heard last words of transmission from tower 'immediate...turn.' advised tower of happy outcome. My analysis: other pilot screwed up.
