This is the dramatic moment an off-road jeep rescues a lorry stuck in soft soil after a typhoon in Taiwan.

Footage shows the truck stranded in mud caused by floodwaters in the area, as a black vehicle prepares to pull it to safety in Hualien.

Both motor engines had successfully passed through the affected terrain on September 26.

The off-road vehicles are part of the 'Hualien Disaster Relief Vehicle' team, assisting with disaster relief and supply distribution after the onslaught of Super Typhoon Ragasa in the region.

Ragasa, described as the strongest storm of the year so far, has wreaked havoc across East Asia after tearing through the northern tip of the Philippines and Hong Kong, killing at least 10 people in the Philippines and displacing thousands. Taiwan has also reported 17 fatalities linked to the storm.

The typhoon made landfall in the Philippines' remote and poverty-stricken Babuyan Islands at 3 pm local time on Monday. It arrived as the country continues to grapple with weeks of severe flooding brought on by an unusually intense monsoon season.
