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