Firefighters rescue a motorist trapped inside a car that was stuck vertically on a shop's gates in southern China.

The bizarre video, shot in the city of Huaihua in Hunan Province on January 8, shows a white car trapped upright in front of a shop's gate.

The arm of a rescue vehicle was used to support the car and firemen can be seen taking the driver, who trapped inside, out through the door.

The driver was sent to hospital and the incident is being investigated.
