Meeting oncoming traffic is the last thing a rally driver needs when they’re racing down a slippery snow stage at night…

The driver of this rally car needed a new front end, and probably a new pair of pants, after crashing head first into an oncoming passenger car. The ice-walled rally stage was supposed to be closed to the public, but one driver obviously didn’t get the memo and continued down the stage regardless.

Thankfully, no one was seriously injured in the crash, but we certainly wouldn’t want to see what the insurance bill looked like afterwards…
