An out-of-control lorry crashed into the guardrails on the side of a bridge and was left hanging dangerously high off the ground in southwestern China.

In the video, shot in Zunyi City in Guizhou Province on February 27, the cabin of a lorry hangs off the edge of a 20-metre-high bridge and firefighters and policemen try to rescue the driver trapped inside.

The driver was successfully saved in 15 minutes, and he had suffered injuries to his back, according to reports.
