Snow and ice on a steep street in Montreal have produced an oddly graceful slow motion pile-up of cars, buses, trucks and a snow plow.

According to the Guardian the mayhem happened at an intersection on Côte du Beaver Hall.

A second bus then hits the pickup truck, followed by a police car that slips and slides down the road.

Just when you think it can't get any worse - enter the snow truck. The cop manages to get out of his car just time to avoid getting smacked by the snow plow.
