Crane tries to lift up truck, but gets lifted itself

This is not a scene copied from an action movie.

When a truck broke down off the side of the Chengdu-Chongqing Expressway on Tuesday, police called for a crane to come to the rescue.

But, alas, it turned out that the truck was a bit heavier than expected and the recovery work continued until the crane was upended at a 60 degree angle.

The only option was for police to call for the assistance of another crane.

Up next: a pampered pooch rides the bus.
