Nitric Acid formation from NO2 and OH

In Acid Rain caused by car emissions, how does NO2 and OH from water chemically bond to form HNO3 (Nitric Acid)?

From the subatomic and a skeletal formula perspectives, please. Does one covalent bond overpower another? How does the formula rearrange itself step by step?
