A driver luckily escapsed while his truck went on fire

Note: This video was uploaded on to Youtube by early 2013, so the case probably took place about more than one year ago.

The main reason it is brought up again is that it can be used as a lesson to all drivers so they are always cautious when they drive. Vehicle condition is also an utmost important thing to check before one steps up into his/her car.

The accident took place quite quickly starting from a crash along the main road and the truck suddenly  burst into rapid fire.


With just a flick between life and death, the truck driver tragically made an escape and ran his way from within the truck crossing the road to the nearby viewers who then made their best effort at saving his life.
Buckets of water have been poured on the poor man who got almost a hundred percent of his body burned.
He was then referred to the near by hospital.


Let's hope this tragic won't happen again.
Road traffic is everyone's responsibility.
