This is the shocking moment a jackknifed lorry overturned and blocked an icy road in China.

Dashcam footage captured by Mr Zhang shows the truck navigating the highway before skidding and veering off the roadside in Xining, Qinghai.

The massive vehicle toppled over, completely obstructing the road, while another truck behind it crashed into the overturned lorry, unable to brake in time.

Upon receiving the incident report, police quickly responded, and tow crews worked to remove the vehicle.

No injuries were reported in the crash on November 29.

China's winters, lasting from late November to March, are notoriously harsh, characterised by strong winds, dry air, and sporadic frost and snowfall.
