VIDEO: Tractor-trailer crash leaves car hanging off bridge edge

A shocking accident involving a tractor-trailer on a bridge in China was captured on surveillance video Monday.

The footage shows a car traveling on the bridge when it slowly merges into the lane of a fast-moving tractor-trailer. The truck slams into the car and pins it up against a guardrail, leaving the car and its three occupants hanging over a hundred feet in the air.

Watch the video above.

Rescuers arrived on the scene and were able to stabilize the car before rescuing the passengers.

Two female passengers were quickly removed, but the driver wasn't freed until over four hours later. The passengers and the driver are expected to recover.

The truck driver was not injured in the crash.
