This is the bizarre moment foam bubbles covered a street during Typhoon Gaemi in Taiwan.

Footage shows the white frothy substance building up on the roadside and being blown across a road in Pingtung County on July 25 during bad weather.

More foam was being blown away by the winds from the balcony of a building onto passing cars.

Driver Wu Qiuping said it happened at a parking lot near a market but he was unsure what caused it.

He said: ‘I drive very slowly because it was slippery. I don't know what caused it.'

Small amounts of oil, fuel, and other hydrocarbons from vehicles accumulating on roads can cause foam to form during rain. When mixed with rainwater, they can contribute to foam formation.

Typhoon Gaemi killed 22 in the Philippines after lashing through mainland Luzon for almost a week, intensifying monsoon rains. It headed to Taiwan killing three people and injuring more than 200 when it made landfall.
