Shocking footage of a driver being crushed by his own van after he parked on a slope and forgot to put the handbrake on.

The video, filmed in China on January 24, shows the man getting out of his vehicle, before he notices it sliding backwards down the slope. His attempts to stop the van lead to him being sucked underneath the vehicle, causing severe injuries.

According to local reports, the driver's condition is no longer life threatening but he is still in a coma.
