The dashcam video was filmed in the city of Nanjing in Jiangsu Province on December 15.

A truck's cargo compartment was improperly secured and collided with an overhead gantry, causing it to collapse onto the roadway. The impact resulted in a traffic snarl, affecting numerous commuters in the area.
