A canopy smashed the front windscreen of a car after the wind blew it over in southern China.

The video, filmed in the city of Nanchong in Sichuan Province on August 12, shows a metal canopy dropping down from a building and striking the front windscreen of a car.

An employee from the repair shop was sitting inside the car to do a check up when the incident happened.
