The Hyundai Accent owner, identified as 36-year-old Marina P., was reportedly overtaking a van when she lost control of the vehicle and hit the oncoming lorry.

According to local media, the driver and her nine-year-old daughter Karolina were both killed on the spot while the lorry driver was uninjured.

In the dash-cam footage, the Hyundai Accent is seen overtaking the filming van driver before rejoining the lane just ahead of an oncoming lorry which it narrowly misses.

The car then skids on the icy road as the female driver appears to lose control of the vehicle.

The skidding Hyundai then crosses onto the other side of the road just as another lorry approaches, hitting each other head-on.

The smashed-up car then ricochets onto the other side of the road and crashes into the filming van.

According to the local police, the young girl was wearing her seat belt in the back seat of the car when the accident took place.

The police investigation is ongoing.
