Ananova:

A Chinese lorry driver whose vehicle was wrecked in a smash bought a crash helmet and carried on his journey.

A police patrol pulled up the badly damaged, speeding truck as it weaved from side-to-side on a motorway outside Wuhan city.

Officers could not believe their eyes when they saw the driver wearing his crash helmet in the crushed shell of his cab.

A police spokesman said: "We signalled the driver to stop immediately, and he told us he had to continue, since he was under contract and had a very tight schedule."

The driver, Mr Zhao, of Wuhan city, told them he had an accident not long after setting off to deliver vegetables to Hunan province.

"I found the truck was still functional, so I bought myself a helmet and continued," he said.

Police forced Zhao to get the truck fixed before driving it again, reports Changjiang Business Daily.
