An oil tanker bursts into flames following an oil spill on an expressway in the city of Daqing in northeast China's Heilongjiang Province on Thursday morning.
Firefighters rushed to the site and found the vehicle was entirely engulfed by flames and dense smoke, and the 100-meter-long stain of oil leaked on the ground also caught fire.
They immediately sprayed foam on both the truck and ground in order to prevent an explosion.
After half an hour, the fire was put out.
No casualties have been reported in the accident.
