A car driver in China was shocked when a cow suddenly dropped from the sky and landed on his bonnet.

The heavy black-and-white cow smashed a deep dent into the front of the vehicle in Changchun, reports the Northeastern News Network.

A resident who saw the accident said he saw the cow jump off the lorry driving ahead of the car. The lorry did not stop but sped off.

Police caught up with the lorry driver who is now in custody. They believe he is a cow thief who had stolen three cows from a local farmer and was transporting them to a market.

"He forgot to tie the cows securely on the lorry, and one of them walked off of the running truck and hit the car following behind," said the police spokesman.
