The driver of a tricycle had a lucky escape when a huge brick wall collapsed into the road a second after they had passed by.

The dramatic footage seen here was captured by a CCTV camera in the city of Nanning which is in southern China on 27th May.

It is known as the green city because of the abundance of plant life that grows in the monsoon-influenced subtropical climate.

But the strong winds that are typical for the city also had serious consequences when this video was shot after they were seen battering the huge wall which then collapsed.

The video footage starts off by showing the rain-covered street with a solitary figure, and the tricycle driving alongside the wall.

Just as it gets towards the end of the frame, the wind and the rain suddenly pick up, as can be seen by the cables starting to swing back and forward, and then the huge brick wall in a long line topples onto the street.

The crash sends hundreds of bricks scattered across the tarmac, just as the tricycle disappears off-camera without a scratch.

The road was reportedly closed for several hours while a cleanup operation took place and the rest of the wall was secured by firemen.
