Bizarre footage has emerged from China of a lorry driver tearing down the central reservation barriers on a motorway in order to make a u-turn.

The video, captured on CCTV in Dezhou, Shandong Province on March 1, shows two men from the vehicle's cabin breaking down the barriers, so the can turn around and head back the way they came.
