If you can see a light at the end of the tunnel – it could be a blazing truck heading straight for you.
That’s the sight that would have greeted anyone foolish enough to be peering down a tunnel on the Lanhai highway in Ghizhou Provonce, China last Friday (November 6) as the driver of a truck drove for his life.

At some point during its journey through the tunnel, the trailer of the large articulated truck caught fire. Rather than stopping the truck and risking a devastating fire, its courageous driver, reportedly called Mr Xiao, put his foot down and accelerated as fast as he could out of the tunnel to a safe place, where the fire could be extinguished.
The truck was carrying car parts but these were soon engulfed in flames. Fire-fighters arrived to put out the fire soon after. Fortunately, Mr Xiao escaped unharmed.
