This is the moment a bungling lorry driver misjudges his trailers height and brings a power line down in massive ball of sparks.
Dashcam footage shows the truck carrying a 13ft high container on the opposite site of the road as it clips the overhanging power lines.
Miraculously, the electric cables missed all the cars during the rush hour traffic and nobody was injured by the explosion.

The driver, who carried on his journey without stopping, cut electricity in the area for several hours.
Nine students of a nearby university were reportedly stuck in the elevator from the blackout.
