Shocking: Chinese Traffic Cameras Capture Horrific Accidents


I thought Queens Boulevard in New York was bad. This intersection in China makes QB look like a kiddie walk.

The Blaze reports that if you’re watching this video at an office or near others, you might want to warn those around because you will gasp in horror very shortly.
