Out-of-control lorry smashes into shop facade

An out-of-control lorry rushes down a slope and ends up slamming into the front of a shop in southern China's Chongqing city.

The CCTV video, captured on January 7, shows the lorry knocking down a tree and a telegraph pole before crashing into the roller shutters of a shop.

Since the vehicles parked on the side of the road blocked the lorry, the man in the shop escaped death.

Around 11 vehicles were damaged, but no one was injured.

The cause of the crash was being investigated.
