Frightening dashcam footage captured the moment an upstate New York driver collided head-on with a snowplow while trying to pass another truck.
The snowplow was traveling on a two-lane road in the North Country when the headlights of a black sedan passing a tractor-trailer appeared in front of him, the New York Post reports.
The small car desperately tried to accelerate and pass the tractor-trailer, but was unable to gain enough ground in the slush to complete its maneuver.

Fortunately, no one was injured in this terrifying accident.
