Terrifying dashcam footage has emerged from China of the moment some planks flew off a lorry and hit a car.

In the footage, which was filmed in Guizhou Province last week, a driver named as Mr Chen is making his way down a dual carriageway when suddenly the planks can be seen flying off the back of a lorry travelling in the opposite direction.

The planks strike the side of Mr Chen's vehicle but he is able to drive safely to the side of the road.

Mr Chen was unhurt in the incident but his car was damaged.
