BEIJING: The sandstorms and strong winds in Beijing have caused much destruction and injured several people in the capital as the extreme weather condition continued to affect parts of China on Friday. A man riding on a motorbike was thrown off his vehicle after he was hit by a large tin roof dislodged by strong wind, a video posted by the People’s Daily on its Twitter account showed. The video showed the piece of metal sailing through the air moments before it slammed into the man, knocking him off his motorbike. The footage was taken by a dashboard camera mounted in a car on the road during morning rush hour on Friday. A Beijing cabbie also suffered head injuries after a falling tree smashed into his windshield, state broadcaster CCTV reported.
