Chinese truck driver's dramatic escape

A truck driver lost control on a bridge in Northwest China's Qinghai province and managed to avoid plunging to the bottom of the 200-foot deep gorge, UK's Telegraph reported. Thanks to a single punctured tyre and some torn sheet metal near the diesel tank, the truck somehow managed to cling on to the concrete barrier, albeit upside down. The driver was plucked to safety by rescuers. [Undated photos posted online at Yahoo Autos]
