A VIDEO of Hereford has gone viral on TikTok – but the video tricked viewers and left them confused about what they were meant to be seeing.

The eight-second video, which has 1.8 million views, shows Hereford's Old Bridge from a camera at the Left Bank.

Greyfriars Bridge can be seen behind, and text over the video reads "Graphic: car crashes off bridge into river".

But those who live in Hereford won't remember this happening because it never actually did.

The video, posted to the social media site earlier this week, is a loop showing the same black car driving over the Old Bridge, but viewers only tend to notice after watching the video a few times.

In the comments on the video, shared by the capt_bantz account with almost 5,600 followers, viewers were left confused and annoyed.

TikTok personality and content creator Jamie Raine said: "You got me there."

Media Moments said: "I’ve been tricked, I’ve been backstabbed and I’ve been, quite possibly, bamboozled."
