A video has recently emerged from China of a crane losing control and smashing six vehicles on a busy road after the driver fainted at the wheel.

According to news reports, the accident caused different levels of damage to four cars, a minibus and a rickshaw, luckily with no casualties.
The truck driver was suspected to have suffered an epileptic fit but no further information has been gathered on his health condition.
