• Bizarre clip shows the car being lifted into the air as it approaches the junction
• Two other cars are then pulled upwards before slamming back down
• Internet users have suggested a downed powerline caused the incident
• Chinese media reported incident was caused by a piece of steel cable

This is the bizarre moment cars appeared to levitate in the air as one drove towards a crossroads in central China.

The strange clip emerged on LiveLeak and shows the three vehicles being pulled upwards before one rolls onto its side in the city of Xingtai.

In the video, which has baffled the internet, a van can be seen approaching a junction when the back end of it is lifted.

At the same time the front of another vehicle is pulled upwards, while the back end of a car in another lane moves.

They each crash back down onto the road with a bang, while the first, which was lifted the most aggressively, lands on its side.
