That is similar to a stunt in the latest Bond film (which has recently 
trashed an Aston as it was being delivered to the set by a company driver 
who drove it into Lake Garda).  In the stunt a baddies car is overtaking 
overtaking a lorry with another baddies car behind the lorry, and the first 
car crashes head-on into a lorry coming the other way.  For filming the 
first car is attached to the side of the first lorry so it looks like it is 
overtaking, attached with explosive bolts which are fired just as the 2nd 
lorry approaches it.  The 2nd car is being driven by stunt actors.  The 1st 
car is intended to be wrecked of course, but what actually happened is that 
it spun round after the impact and smashed into the 2nd car, wrecked that 
and forced it onto the edge of a cliff a la the coach in the original 
Italian Job.  Both occupants were injured, one seriously, and several people 
had to sit on the bonnet to stop the car going over the cliff while they cut 
them out.
