Several people got out of their cars and appeared to be trying to alert oncoming vehicles of the traffic ahead.
They are captured waving their arms in the air after a pair of headlights emerge in the fog.
However, an oncoming truck doesn’t seem to see the warning and speedily travels towards the parked vehicles.
This then led to the horrific collision.
