This is the dramatic moment a lorry clipped a Tesla before crashing head-on into an Audi on a rain-soaked road.

A truck driver, 56, lost control on a slippery curve and skidded across both lanes before slamming into the two cars in Narva, Estonia.

Dashcam footage shows the container truck sideswiping the white Tesla before colliding with the black sedan on November 6.

Police said the Tesla driver, 39, and the Audi driver, 21, sustained multiple injuries and were taken to hospital.

The road was closed for several hours while emergency crews cleared the wreckage and diverted traffic.

Authorities said the cause of the crash remains under investigation, though initial assessments point to excessive speed on a curve and poor road conditions.

Experts said that such incidents may also result from light trailer loads, worn tyres, or a sudden front tyre burst, all of which can cause a driver to lose control.
