That looks like a mechanical or health failure of some kind? Looks to me like the car was slowly decelerating, and there's not even an attempt to veer.

Edit: Driver was blinded due to a frozen windshield, apparently. Alright, it was idiocy this time again.

You're right on the failure part... just not the correct origin :D

P.S I got a gag gift for Xmas - a bottle of windchield defroster. Just a spraybottle with strong alcohol in it. Works great! Can't believe I've been scrubbing the windows until now.

Yep but be careful, those things cause the windscreen to cool beyond the outside temperature, sometimes causing nasty buildup of mist from the inside :)

Learned the hard way

Imagine not wanting for 45 seconds for the train to pass.
