A huge fire broke out after two lorries crashed on a motorway in northern China.

Eyewitness video shot in Gongzhuling in Jilin Province on Monday (August 27) shows a semi-trailer that was loaded with eight Audi cars and another lorry engulfed in flames.

Black smoke rises into the air.

Firefighters are trying to extinguish the fire on site.

After an hour, the fire was put out. However, the eight cars on the semi-trailer and all cargo on the other lorry were destroyed.

Fortunately, no one was injured.
