  • 9 years ago
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.

In the footage, captured by a witness in Xi'an city in late August, the crane keeps pushing a series of cars backwards for over fifty metres until the owner of a nearby restaurant jumps on the giant vehicle and manages to put on the brakes.

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.
