Tornado picks up car and flings it across road in dramatic video

Dashcam footage shows the moment a car in China was tossed through the air by a powerful tornado.

The vehicle was lifted and flung to the roadside as a powerful storm battered Zhejiang province on Sunday (19 July).

It is currently unclear if anyone was injured.

It comes days after Typhoon Bavi, a storm that affected several regions in Asia, made landfall in Zhejiang on 11 July. It was the province’s strongest July typhoon since 1949, the State Council of the People's Republic of China said.

More than 2.2 million people were evacuated as the typhoon caused widespread flooding and travel cancellations.
