Why is it this kind of thing always happens in China? It feels like while getting into a road accident is a possibility in any country, you’ve got more chance of being speared through the gut with a huge stake of wood in the process if it happens in China.

Either way, truck driver Li Feng is lucky to be alive after this one. His truck crashed into a vehicle that was carrying a large load of wood (over the legal limit in fact), and one of the pieces speared through his truck and into his body, pinning him to his seat. If he avoids infection over the next few days, he’ll thankfully be good to go.

Here are the pics — not for squeamish:
