A car was battered by a sudden avalanche of debris as it was passing under a bridge tunnel in northern China.

Dashcam footage filmed in Changchun City in Jilin Province on August 3, shows a massive quantity of foreign objects falling from the top of a tunnel, striking the front hood of a car and causing an emergency brake.

Another video from the scene showed the car's front engine hood completely buried under the debris, halting traffic underneath the bridge tunnel, and the vehicle's airbag had been deployed.

Eyewitnesses reported a man and a woman were inside the car, with the man suffering minor injuries, but thankfully, nothing serious.

Officials from the Changchun Public Security Bureau Traffic Police Brigade in Kuancheng District clarified that the bridge tunnel did not collapse. Instead, construction waste stored at the connecting part of the bridge had fallen.

Emergency repairs were underway, with normal traffic expected to be restored by August 4.

8月3日上午，吉林长春，一辆轿车在途经一桥洞时，上方突然坠落大量异物，致车辆受损。
行车记录仪画面显示，当天上午10时44分许，前方一辆白色小轿车在经过一处桥洞时，上方突然掉下大量异物，恰巧砸到小车前引擎盖位置，随后车辆紧急制动。另一段现场视频中能看到，前引擎盖完全被杂物掩埋，桥洞下的交通也被阻断，被砸车辆内安全气囊已弹出。据目击者介绍，车内有一男一女，男子受了轻伤，但并无大碍。
长春市公安局交警支队宽城区大队工作人员表示，涉事桥洞并未坍塌，而是桥梁中间连接处堆放的建筑垃圾掉落，现场正在进行抢修，预计4日道路能够恢复正常通行。
