A bizarre video has emerged from Riverside County, California, US, of a car spinning driverless across the middle of a road.

The filmer wrote online: "When I arrived on scene the owner the car was on the roof of the car holding on and attempting to jump inside the car to stop it."

The video, captured on Tuesday, then shows the car continuing to spin out in circles with the bonnet open as police try and work out how to stop it.

The filmer added: "Before I left the police were asking supervision to lay down a spike strip to deflate the tires to slow the vehicle down to gain control of it.

"Hope nobody got hurt. The vehicle was eventually stopped by a police spike strip."
