A huge gust of wind then hits the van, causing one side to lift off the ground.
The driver can be seen grabbing a handle at the side of the van and pulling with all his might to get all four wheels back on the road.
The typhoon has forced hundreds of thousands of people to evacuate, and has even caused a landfall in Shanghai, as reported by What’s The Jam.
According to Chinese state media, it is equivalent to a Category 1 Atlantic hurricane – the strongest storm to hit Shanghai in 75 years.
Two people have also been reported dead, as well as one injured from a falling tree.
