A man in China is counting his lucky stars after a huge saw blade
came crashing onto a highway and right into his car, and he survived.
The man, identified only as Mr. Xiang, was driving on Chongqing-
Guizhou Expressway in Central China when the giant circular saw
blade fell of the back of a truck carrying equipment in a nearby lane.
The blade flew into Mr. Xiang's car and lodged in the front of his
truck. Xiang managed to keep control of the vehicle and walked away
unhurt.
"I heard a 'bang' and then I saw all the white smoke in front of me. I
almost lost control of my car,” Xiang told local reporters the day after
the incident.
Police said that if Xiang had been driving faster or if the blade had hit
at a slightly different angle, he could have been killed.
