A passerby smashed a front windscreen to rescue a driver trapped in a burning truck after a crash in eastern China.

CCTV video captured in the county of Anji in Zhejiang Province on November 26 shows a truck bursting into flames and flipping over after colliding with a car.

Another clip shows a man throwing a stone at the front windscreen of the truck to smash it open. The driver is then seen climbing out of the burning vehicle.

Another man used an extinguisher to try to put out the fire.

Finally, firefighters arrived on site to put out the huge fire. Fortunately, no one was injured.

According to the surveillance camera, the truck turning a corner did not give way to the car moving straight and the car did not slow down in advance when driving past an intersection.

The police department is investigating the case.

11月26日晚上，浙江湖州安吉县，在浦源大道与梅园路岔口，一辆小轿车与一辆小货车发生碰撞，事故发生后，小货车起火，驾驶员被困车内，在这关键时刻，多位热心市民出手救人并帮忙灭火。

从事发监控可以看到，18时50分左右，画面上方的这辆小货车在路口左转弯，遇到画面左侧快速驶来的一辆白色小轿车，避让不及，两车发生碰撞，碰撞的瞬间，小货车整车燃起了熊熊烈火，而驾驶员一直被困车内，无法出来。

就在这关键时刻，骑电动自行车路过现场的市民陈燚永就近捡起一块大石头，朝着被大火吞噬的货车走去。“我看到驾驶员在里面挣扎，在敲窗户，当时我的想法就是救人第一，于是我就跑到边上找了个石头，把窗户砸了个洞，一开始他没能爬出来，之后他又在里面砸了一下，才爬了出来。”陈燚永回忆道。

路口附近店铺的商户们也纷纷拿出灭火器加入到救援队伍当中。无奈两车中的小货车火势太大，最后还是消防人员赶到现场扑灭了大火。事故没有造成人员伤亡。

从监控画面可以看出：小货车左转时未按规定让直行车辆先行，而直行的白色越野车在途径路口时未提前减速。目前，此次事故交警部门还在进一步调查处理中。（视频由浙江台提供）
