China: Vehicle Spins 360 Degrees Into Oncoming Lane After Aggressive Cut-Off

On September 1, 2025, in Liaoning, China, a video filmed from inside a car shows the vehicle losing control after another driver abruptly cut in front of it. The sudden maneuver caused the driver to swerve, sending the car into a full 360-degree spin before skidding across the center line toward the oncoming lane. The spinning vehicle startled two small trucks approaching from the opposite direction, forcing both drivers to brake sharply. In the footage, the trucks appear frozen in place as the car spins to a halt just meters away.
