Truck Fast

Water a silly trucker.

This driver in northern China was stuck fast when he forgot to lower his tipper as he left a building site in Lanzhou, Gansu province.

Police say driver Fu Lon Sun's truck was hooked onto giant mains pipes supplying local homes with millions of gallons of water.

"If he'd hit them any harder it would have been a toss up whether he was crushed or drowned," said one.

"I was in a hurry to collect my next load and I forgot all about lowering the rear of the truck," confessed Fu.

Firefighters and rescue experts managed to free the truck without pulling down the pipes.
