A WOMAN in Xinjiang, China, clung to the back of a lorry driven by her husband after she suspected that he was cheating on her, China Press reported.
The incident took place on March 27, when police officers spotted her hanging from a beam at the rear of a moving lorry in Kashgar.
Officers immediately flagged down the vehicle.
When asked if he knew there was a woman clinging to the back of the lorry, the driver calmly replied: “Yes, that is my wife.”
