A cement mixer truck careened out of control, tipping over and crashing into a crowd of electric scooter riders, leaving multiple people injured in southern China.

Dashcam footage filmed in the city of Guangzhou in Guangdong Province on August 11 shows, a truck approaching an intersection sped through the red light.

In what appears to be an attempt to avoid a head-on collision with the crowd of electric scooter riders, the driver turned sharply. But due to the high speed and the heavy weight of the cement, the truck lost balance.

The vehicle then crashed down onto the crowd in the middle of the road.

Zengcheng police were quick to dispatch officers to the scene, working in coordination with emergency rescue forces and medical personnel from the emergency service.

The accident resulted in one severe injury and four minor injuries, all of whom have been taken to the hospital for treatment. The incident is currently under further investigation and handling.
