The driver of a burning lorry speeds out of town to protect residents from harm after a bundling welder set fire to his cargo. The hero driver has now even been rewarded with a brand new lorry from China's leading automaker for risking his life to prevent harm to others. The incident took place in the city of Xinmin in the north-eastern province of Liaoning, bordering with North Korea, on 14th July. Stunned residents filmed the lorry driver speeding through the streets while repeatedly sounding his horn, as seen in the video.
