This is the shocking moment a warehouse worker was pinned by a lorry tail lift after a reckless driver reversed straight into her.

CCTV footage shows the lorry backing towards the woman, who has her back turned while collapsing cardboard boxes.

Suddenly, the vehicle's tail lift knocks her over, leaving her trapped on top of the pile of cartons.

Despite calling out for help, the driver does not appear to hear her. Two colleagues then arrive and shout at the vehicle operator as well.

The lorry then moves forward, but this seems to cause the screaming woman even more pain.

The driver is finally instructed to lift the tail lift, with the woman apparently wriggling free just as the clip ends.

Local reports said that the employee did not suffer any serious injuries in the incident in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, China, on June 13.
