An oil tank dropped from a truck after it crashed into the central reservation, causing a huge fire on a Chinese highway.
The video, filmed in the city of Shenzhen in Guangdong Province on March 22, shows the truck driver playing on his phone and smoking while driving along the Guangshen Expressway.
Another dramatic clip shows the truck losing its balance after crashing into the central reservation and the oil tank loaded on it falling over onto the ground, causing a huge fire.
Firefighters were spraying water over the flames to try and extinguish the fire.
Three vehicles and some public facilities were damaged but no casualties were reported.
According to reports, the oil tank truck driver did not focus on driving so he did not notice an off-road vehicle driving slowly in front of it.
He then changed the direction immediately to avoid the vehicle but bumping into the central reservation.
The case is being investigated, reports said.
