An out-of-control truck fell off an over 80-metre-high motorway in southern China's Yuxi on October 5, injuring two people.

The terrifying video shows a truck crashing through the guardrails on Kunming–Mohan Expressway and dropping down the more than 80-metre-high cliff.

The driver in another truck driving behind braked the vehicle immediately, causing it to turn 180 degrees and crash into the central reservation before bumping into a car.

Police arrived on-site in time and found the passenger and the driver thrown out of the truck. Fortunately, they both only suffered minor injuries.

The incident was caused by the truck driver's misoperation and the case is in further investigation.
