Dramatic footage has emerged of the moment a car suddenly burst into flames after a low-speed crash, while avoiding an object that fell onto the road.

The video, captured in Zhejiang Province, China last week, shows one car stopping to avoid a box in the road before being hit by a following vehicle.

The incident looks fairly minor as they both stop, before the rear car starts to catch fire - eventually only leaving a charred frame.

Thankfully neither party were reportedly injured in the incident.
