A car quickly reversed to avoid rock and debris tumbling down a mountain in southern China.

Video filmed in the city of Leshan in Sichuan Province on February 27 shows a man named Xu and his family driving along a road under a mountain.

However, the rocks and mud suddenly fell down from a mountain onto the road in front of Xu's car.

Xu then reversed immediately to avoid being hit.

According to Xu, it was the first time that Xu encountered the situation, so he was frightened. He then chose to take a detour on another route.
