Aluminium Drum Flies Off Lorry Onto Motorway

This is the moment a giant metal drum flies off the back of a lorry and crashes onto a motorway just ahead of an approaching car.

Dashcam footage taken on the Changsha-Zhejiang Expressway over the city of Huaihua, which is in China’s central province of Hunan, shows what police say is an aluminium water tank being picked up by the wind.

The container, which was one of several being transported on the back of the lorry, had not been properly tied down, the authorities reported.
