This is the shocking moment a car carrying a child collides head-on with another vehicle that slid on an icy road, causing the youngster to cry in terror.

The incident occurred in Zelenograd, Russia, on January 15, where heavy snowfall had made the roads dangerously slippery.

Dramatic footage shows a vehicle driving through the city, with fresh ice covering the streets and tower blocks visible on the right.

The video clip captures a car from the opposite direction, losing control and crossing the central reservation.

The out-of-control vehicle slams head-on with the car equipped with the dashcam before sliding and crashing into a stationary vehicle.

A child in the stationary car can be heard crying after the impact.

Authorities are investigating the incident, and no serious injuries have been reported.
