This footage shows the moment a woman lands on a busy motorway bridge with a paraglider, leaving motorists stunned.

The incident took place on the Chaoyang Bridge, in Nanchang, in Jiangxi Province, in south-eastern China, at around 2:30 pm on 25th April.

Footage filmed from one of the vehicles on the motorway shows the woman slowly descending onto the busy road.

A car is forced to swerve to avoid hitting her as she lands, with other vehicles apparently managing to change lanes and avoid her.

Local media reports said that the woman landed without incident and was not injured.

She reportedly waved at the motorists repeatedly to signal her presence and indicate that they should slow down and change lanes.

It is currently unclear what caused the woman to land on the bridge, with one witness telling local media: "I don't know if there was a problem with her parachute. I guess something went wrong, and she had to make an emergency landing.

"Why would she land on the bridge unless it was absolutely necessary? The Chaoyang Bridge is quite high, and there is the Gan River below."

The police said that they were not investigating and had not received any complaints or reports concerning the incident.
