This is the moment a speeding lorry swerves to avoid a tricycle and crashes through a wall.

The crash happened in Baoding, Hebei Province, China, on 22nd August.

Video footage shows a three-wheeler crossing a four-lane road as a large lorry approaches from the right.

The lorry then suddenly veers right to avoid a collision.

It narrowly misses a lamp post before ploughing into a wall leading into a courtyard.

The tricycle makes a sharp U-turn and narrowly avoids being crushed.

Local media reported that the lorry was suspected of running a red light before the crash.

The case is under investigation.
