A driverless tuk-tuk went haywire - spinning around in circles on a busy road.

The three-wheeled vehicle was parked on the roadside with its engine still on, but instead of keeping still, it wandered to the middle and blocked traffic.

Footage shows the rickshaw-style tricycle moving on its own in a circular motion as it steered left in Misamis Occidental, the Philippines, on April 8.

Its owner arrived moments later, trying to catch up to it and control the handlebars to turn the engine off.

Apple Mae Cotales, who was inside one of the buses that were stuck in traffic, said: 'The other cars all had to stop because the tuk-tuk was spinning in front of us.'

The vehicle was later taken under control by the driver and out of the road.
