Everybody knows (or they should know) that the road is a dangerous place to be, especially when added safety risks are involved.

CCTV footage from China recorded a car pulling over to the shoulder of the Hangzhou Expressway. A female passenger then exited the vehicle to stretch out her legs, but little did she know what was coming towards her way.

As Shu Fang Chiu, 45, was gazing out into the field, a large runaway tire from a truck struck her and knocked her over the road.

Local media reported that the woman was recovered nine meters off the highway having suffered three fractures. She was taken to the hospital. Police said that the blame lies on both the driver of the car for illegally stopping on the road shoulder and the truck driver.
