A bizarre video has emerged from China of a man wearing a motorcycle helmet while driving a severely damaged lorry.

The footage was captured earlier this month when police officers stopped the man on a highway in Jiangxi Province.

In the video, the man demonstrates how he was propping up the roof of the lorry’s cab using a wooden stick and wearing the helmet to protect himself from strong winds while driving.

According to police reports, the driver said he had crashed the lorry the evening before and had been reluctant to pay for a recovery vehicle so decided to make the journey home to repair the damage himself.

According to local news reports, the driver was given a penalty by the police officers and his lorry was removed from the highway.
