Watch | Mystery behind bizarre ‘car levitation’ solved

A bizarre video has emerged from Xingtai, China of a road accident in which several vehicles appear to levitate. Captured by CCTV cameras last week, the clip shows a minibus suddenly rise up into the air and flip onto its side. Two other nearby vehicles also lift off the road. If you look very closely at the video, you can just about make out what actually happened. Just before the first minibus rises into the air, you can see a faint black line to the left of the screen, which police believe was a cable or thick wire which accidentally fell into the road and wrapped around the vehicles, lifting them into the air. Fortunately, no-one was injured in the incident.
