A woman was viciously struck by a swinging truck door during her routine trash run in southern China.

The CCTV footage was filmed in Anshun City in Guizhou Province on September 11.

Ms Wang, having thrown the rubbish, was walking back towards the right side of the road when, to her complete shock, a slowly approaching truck's back door swung open as it passed by her.

Due to the momentum, the door fiercely struck Wang on her shoulder, knocking her to the ground.

Immediately after the incident, the truck driver, named Mr Wang, quickly dialled the emergency and police numbers and promptly took the injured Ms Wang to hospital.

Fortuitously, Ms Wang suffered only minor soft tissue injuries to her shoulder and legs, and there was no risk to her life.

After an investigation, the police concluded that the driver, Mr Wang, was entirely at fault for the accident.

Follow-up reports indicate that the injured Ms Wang is now in recovery, showing no signs of lasting after-effects from the incident.

9月11日上午10时37分，贵州安顺，普定县马场镇土司北路，王某出门倒个垃圾，来回距离不过100米，却狠狠的挨了个“铁巴掌”……
当天王某倒完垃圾后，靠道路右侧往回走，万万没想到，后方缓缓驶来货车在经过王某身边的时候，后车门挡板突然打开，在惯性作用下，狠狠的拍到了王某的肩部，将其拍翻在地。
事故发生后，货车驾驶人王某贵立即拨打了120急救电话和报警电话并迅速将王某送医，万幸的是，王某只是肩部、腿部软组织受轻伤，无生命危险。民警勘察后认定，王某贵负此次事故全责。经回访，目前王某伤势已经好转，并未产生后遗症。
