This is the dramatic scene of a lorry teetering on the edge of a China motorway bridge above a 65-foot drop, with its stricken co-driver still trapped inside. 

The lorry's driver skidded on a wet slip road on the Zunyi-Chishui Expressway in southern China's Guizhou Province, before slamming through crash barriers. 

The footage shows most of the cab hanging at an angle off the bridge.

The emergency services found the driver already out of his cab when they arrived, but they had to rescue the co-driver, who was still trapped inside
