The driver of the white Vauxhall Corsa had joined the A90 near Aberdeen via the exit slip road and then soon realised her error.
As the 20-year-old woman veered around an oncoming lorry, she was confronted with another and couldn't avoid a collision.
The second lorry then rolled over, dropping a shipment of cement bags and landing at the side of the road.
Amazingly, no one was injured in the crash. And after watching this video one too many times we're really not sure how that can be the case.
A 20-year-old woman has been charged with dangerous driving.
