House hit by dozens of cars and trucks
Some of the crash scenes
Dozens of cars and trucks have crashed into a house in north-eastern China in the space of just one year.
According to an article in the Beijing Youth Daily, the house, in a town called Heilongjiang, is on a right angled junction.
Cars don't slow down quickly enough when taking the turn and end up careering into the front fence.
In 2016 the family who live there took 100 photos, recording the 48 cars and trucks that crashed into their home.
The yellow sign in front of the house displays the Chinese character for "slow." Sadly it seems their deterrent is not working.
Husband and wife He Haijun and Xu Renxiang were living on the 70 square metre plot of land before the main road was built seven years ago.
It now means the expressway from Daqing City to Qiqihar City runs close to their house.
Compensation
Xu told the Beijing Youth Daily the crashes started happening in 2010. She was 8 months pregnant and asleep when a car veered into their bedroom. Their daughter is now seven years old but she's not allowed to play in front of the house because of the risk of being hit by a vehicle.
The couple said everyone around them knows where they live as the 'car accident house' on the junction. So far, luckily, no-one's been seriously injured.
Xu insisted that it has probably happened about 100 times, but they don't know the real number.
Most of the time she says they can negotiate with the perpetrators privately and get some compensation.
Officials are reportedly looking into the problem but no sign of any possible solution yet.
