Two delivery drivers narrowly escaped being hit by a large tree that unexpectedly toppled over in northern China.

CCTV footage filmed in Langfang City in Hebei Province on April 23 shows a tree suddenly falling after a deliveryman parked his scooter and left.

Another delivery driver was standing in the path of the falling tree but miraculously became wedged between its branches.

According to witnesses, the tree, already of considerable age, had its stability compromised by extreme weather conditions, including heavy rainfall and strong winds the previous day.

4月23日，河北廊坊，闹市区一棵大树突然毫无征兆地倒下，砸向了路面，幸运的是两位外卖小哥都恰好避过。
监控画面显示，大树即将倒地前一秒，正好树下有两位外卖小哥，其中一人停好车刚离开，而另一人虽然站在树倒向的位置，但刚“卡”在了倒地大树的树枝中间，两人均没有受伤，另外也没有造成对其他过往车辆和行人的伤害。
这次意外虽然处在闹市，但因为没有产生损伤，大家都戏称这棵大树是一颗善良的大树。
对于大树倾倒的原因，知情者表示，这个树的年龄比较大了，另外前一天廊坊刚遭遇了大风暴雨的极端天气，导致这颗树的根基不稳。
