A few days ago, CCTV footage of three vehicles levitating for few seconds at a busy intersection in Xingtai, China, in mid-November started doing the rounds of social media.
While many thought it was some paranormal activity or a gravity-defying accident, the mystery behind this unusual incident has now been solved.
Chinese state media reports that the bizarre incident happened as the cars got tangled around the brushes of a street-sweeping vehicle.
"I was driving slowly straight ahead. All of a sudden, I was lifted up. The street cleaner car snagged on the wire. The wire just so happened to be underneath our car and it sent us flying," one of the drivers was quoted by fox8.com as saying.
However, long before the reason behind the incident came to light, the footage was shared by thousands of people on social media.
