A multiple-vehicle crash — caused by an irresponsible move — was caught on camera in Abu Dhabi. The emirate's police on Friday shared the footage, warning motorists of the dangers of sudden deviation and wrong overtaking.

The clip shared on social media shows how a truck suddenly changed lanes — without noticing that there was an incoming car on the left side.

The car tried avoiding the crash by swerving to the left, to no avail. Worse, it hit an SUV in the third lane. The second car lost control, causing it to zigzag across the busy highway.
