Mysterious footage of cars ‘flying’ in China
Footage has emerged of the bizarre moment cars appear to levitate mid-air at a busy intersection in China.
The amazing clip surfaced on LiveLeak and shows the three vehicles being pulled in an upwards direction without rhyme or reason.
One of the vehicles then dramatically rolls onto its side due to the sheer force upon impact.
The video has sent the internet into a frenzy as many have sought an explanation for the usual event however details on the freaky incident are limited.
A van can be seen in the video approaching the intersection when the back end of the vehicle is lifted off the road.
At the same time, the front of another vehicle is pulled upwards, while the back end of a car in another lane moves.
They each crash back down onto the road with a bang, while the first, which was lifted the most aggressively, lands on its side.
It is know known yet if anyone was injured during the freak event.
Pedestrians can be seen on the vision backing away from the vehicles initially upon impact, however can later be seen approaching the cars to check on the drivers.
Chinese media have offered up an explanation reporting that the incident was caused by a piece of steel cable, which was caught up in the brush of a street sweeper.
This caused the cable to be lifted into the air slightly and pull the car upwards as it drove past.
The popular video has been viewed more than 20,000 times.

Inattentive, and just down right dangerous, driving has become an ever more visible problem in the age of CCTV cameras, GoPros and smart phones. Before they came along we had to wonder if anyone had ever tried to jump a bridge.
Nor did we know quite how fraught the relationship between motorists and cyclists had become.
The dangers of drink driving are well known, but this video of an intoxicated driver leaving a bar and crashing directly into oncoming traffic brings makes the risk starkly real.
Dashcams reveal some crazy behaviour, but sometimes they highlight brilliant driving. As this motorist saw a pileup materialise out of the haze, his attentiveness and coolness under pressure made him one of the few to leave the 40 vehicle collision unscathed.
Cars, bicycles and roads have long had a reputation for revealing the worst aspects of human behaviour though, to which this loud and nearly violent confrontation testifies.
