Shocking footage shows a car spinning out of control as icy conditions grip parts of the UK due to the "Mini Beast from the East."

Dash-cam video shows a speeding car - thought to be a Renault Megane - attempting to overtake a vehicle on the A329 towards Reading just before midnight on 18 March.

The car then skids out of control and collides with the left-hand safety barrier, causing the filmer's car to smash into the other vehicle.

The occupants of the Megane - including a woman and child - were not injured, according to the dash-cam owner, who described the overtaking car as a "write-off."

The video was posted to social media, where one viewer commented: "Why risk overtaking in those conditions! Especially when there is snow on the road and at those speeds traction just disappears."

The incident took place heading just before Earley. According to the dash-cam owner, the owner of the speeding vehicle conceded that he was driving too fast.

Travel in many parts of England was disrupted this weekend after another cold front brought large amounts of snow.

+The date/time shown on the dash-cam is incorrect. The video was captured on March 18 at 11:15pm.+
