A dramatic video has emerged from China a truck's sudden crash as the axle of the back wheels collapsed while driving.

The footage, captured on the dashboard camera of a police car behind in Jiangxi Province on Thursday, shows the truck suddenly collapsing to one side - pulling the cab up - and hitting the side barriers. The driver then jumps out to chase his wheels, which roll off along the road.

Luckily no injuries were caused, according to local reports.
