Gas spill sparks highway inferno

Beijing: A Chinese highway transformed into a raging inferno after an overturned tanker coated the road in liquid natural gas, creating a potential deathtrap for unsuspecting motorists. Dashcam footage from a passing car shows a blue sedan bursting into flames just moments after the driver pulled onto the shoulder behind the tanker truck. As he pulls over, the entire length of road turns into a sea of flame, engulfing another car and incinerating trees and bushes edging the road. He then dashes out of the car in a desperate bid to escape. The dramatic footage was taken Sunday along a motorway in Hebei province, bordering Beijing. The car filming the scene quickly reversed, trying to escape the surging flames.
