A car changing lanes on a motorway in China suddenly veered into an embankment and rolled over several times.

The incident occurred in southern China's Chongqing City on April 15.

CCTV video shows a car crashing into the barriers on an embankment after changing lane, sending dust and smoke into the air.

The car flips and rolls four times, only coming to a halt when it comes up against a barricade.

Police handout footage shows the damaged car.

Fortunately, the driver was not injured severely and was forced to pay compensation.
