A woman narrowly escaped being buried by a wall after it collapsed onto parked vehicles in a residential area in southern China's Ganzhou.

The terrifying CCTV video, shot in Jiacheng Garden in Nankang district on July 10, shows a wall suddenly collapsing burying the vehicles parked under it, as a woman was about to walk past.

Since the woman noticed the abnormal scene, she quickly ran back to escape being caught by the debris.

According to the experts, the water leaking out of a broken pipe increased the water content in the soil, causing the collapse.

Three cars were damaged but no one was injured.
