CHINA - A traffic camera captured a 19-car pileup on an icy China highway.
All it took was one car spinning out to spark the chain reaction crash on Feb. 7.
Next, you can see car after car apparently unable to stop and crash into each other, a scene that looked like bumper cars at an amusement park.
About one minute in the YouTube video is where the mess really begins on the overpass in Wuxi, Jiangsu province of China.
You can see some drivers get out of their car, something authorities caution not to do for safety reasons.

The extent of injuries to those involved in the massive mess is not known.
