This is the dramatic moment drivers battle through floods brought by Typhoon Kajiki in northern Vietnam.

Footage shows motorists struggling to navigate an inundated highway in Hanoi under dark, cloudy skies on August 26.

Kajiki made landfall in Vietnam on Monday, leaving at least seven people dead, one missing, and 34 others injured. Officials said more than 7,000 homes have been damaged during the storm.

In Thailand, a landslide triggered by the storm killed at least four people, with five others still missing.

The weather system has since crossed into Laos and weakened into a tropical depression, with wind speeds of up to 55mph.

Authorities warned that the freak weather is also expected to affect eastern Cambodia and central Myanmar.
