A truck driver rescued a motorcyclist from a fiery fate after the motorcycle ran into the fuel tank of the truck.

It happened in Nanchang, China on Saturday, May 6th.

The dump truck was attempting to make a left turn in traffic, when a motorcyclist traveling through through the intersection collided with the truck, causing both vehicles to immediately catch fire.

The driver and passenger of the truck narrowly escaped the flames by exiting through the passenger side door. The truck driver immediately rushed to the aid of the motorcyclist rolling on the ground.

“The first thing that came into my mind was rescuing the man. I did not care that my truck was burned. What I was thinking was trying to rescue that man first,” said Yang Juyong, driver of the truck.

According to ABC-13, the motorcyclist was taken to the hospital with non life-threatening injuries. It took authorities 40 minutes to extinguish the fire.
