During a fierce storm in China, a driver got the chock of his life when the car he was driving was blown onto the roof of a building.

The driver told the China News Network that he suddenly felt as if his car was flying through the air and before he realised what was happening, his car landed on the roof.

Local meteorologists said the city had suffered an unusually fierce windstorm, with gusts reaching up to 31.5 metres per second.
