Motorists in northern India were stunned on Wednesday (January 8th) when a large avalanche slid down a mountainside and onto the road in front of them.
The incident took place in Kinnaur district in the state of Himachal Pradesh.
The clip shows motorists risking their lives to film as huge piles of snow are shunted towards them.
Realising they may be in danger, one driver starts to shout "Go back! Go back!"
At the end of the video, a van can be seen almost crushed at the side of the road by the great mounds of snow and ice.
