Shocking footage has emerged from China of a train hitting a minibus stopped on the rails.

The CCTV video, captured in Dalian, Liaoning Province last week, shows the minibus stopping too far onto the rails as the train approaches.

As it goes past, the train hits the minibus and drags it along ten metres, reports say.

According to local news, the minibus driver, who was the only passenger, was not badly injured in the accident.

He was fined the equivalent of 200 GBP and was detained for 15 days, because he didn't have a license.
