Dramatic footage has emerged from China of a lorry full of frozen fish on fire, while fire fighters try to extinguish the blaze at the side of the road.

The video, captured in Zhenjiang, Jiangsu Province last Saturday, shows flames engulfing the truck while rescuers use hoses and other tools to try and put it out.

The blaze reportedly started when the right rear tyre exploded, and the flames quickly spread throughout the vehicle.

Fortunately, the driver managed to escape unscathed.
