In many parts of Russia, the winter weather has already kicked into full gear, with all that this means for the safety of drivers, or the lack thereof.

Today we bring you two separate incidents filmed in different places, but with a similar scenario that concerns heavily loaded trucks losing traction on the frozen roads.

We are glad to say that all three automobiles (two in the first video and one in the other) and their passengers were spared the hospital drama as with a little bit of luck, their drivers were able to avoid a potentially deadly head-on crash with the trucks.

Watch the videos for yourself right after the break.
