A video has emerged online showing the moment a truck driver braved the odds to prevent a tragedy from happening.
The driver was captured on camera risking everything to find a safe parking spot for his burning truck after it suddenly caught fire.
The truck which carried a combustible substance had caught fire before it got to its destination.
Since it was still within an area filled with people, the man decided not to simply park it in an open street and run for his dear life.
Instead, courageously, the man had continued to drive the burning truck while fire blazed wildly, till he found a place far from humanity to park it before it risked exploding.
