A driver jumped out of a truck to escape after it crashed into the central reservation and caught fire in eastern China.

The terrifying CCTV video, filmed in the city of Jinhua in Zhejiang Province on August 7, shows a ball of fire suddenly bursting out of a truck crashing into the central reservation on G1512 Ningbo–Jinhua Expressway.

The driver was then seen jumping out of the cabin through the window to escape the burning truck.

According to reports, the driver named Zhang did not take a rest when transporting around 30-tons of rice to Jinhua City.

When Zhang spotted another truck in front, it was already too close to brake. So he turned the steering wheel to change the direction, causing the truck to crash into the central reservation.

Zhang took the main responsibility for the incident as he was fatigued while driving and the driver of the other truck in front of him took the secondary responsibility because he drove too slowly.

The video was provided by local media with permission.
