A motorist made a daring leap to safety as his moving car engulfed in flames in northern China.

The terrifying video was filmed in Huludao City in Liaoning Province on January 6.

A car burst into flames while in motion. The explosion occurred at the rear of the vehicle, prompting the swift actions of the car's driver who managed to open the door and escape.

Local firefighters rushed to the scene for immediate intervention, but the raging inferno proved too formidable, rendering the car a total loss by the time the flames were finally extinguished.

Local emergency services have reassured the public that no casualties were reported in the incident. Preliminary investigations suggest that the explosion was linked to a gas tank at the rear of the car, a result of the vehicle undergoing a conversion from gasoline to natural gas.
