The accident took place on January 8, reported Jiaxing Television. The carrier truck was carrying 12 4X4s on a highway leading to Jiaxing in Zhejiang Province.

As stated by Sina, the truck had been illegally modified so that it could carry two more cars on the trailer. The modified platform was about two metres (6.6ft) longer than a standard platform.

Surveillance footage shows the standalone booth tipping over as the truck was exiting the booth.

The on-duty toll collector, known by her surname Shen, was knocked down and taken to the hospital.

Ms Shen told Jiaxing Television: 'I was working on the lane next to the truck.

'The booth was dragged for a bit before toppling over, but I don't know what was happening.'

Ms Shen was found to have tissue injuries on her right arm, but she was not seriously hurt, stated the report.

The truck driver has been identified by his surname Chen.

Mr Chen didn't notice his lorry had hit the toll booth when he tried to drive away from the gate, according to the man.

His truck was towed away for inspection.

Mr Chen has agreed to pay for the damage of the toll booth, which was estimated to be 200,000 yuan (£22,831).
