  Local firefighters arrived at the scene and found that the truck's fuel tank was leaking. The firefighters immediately cordoned off the area, used a large excavator at the site to lift the truck cab off the ground, then used hydraulic spreaders and hydraulic shears to cut open the door, and entered the cab to carry out the rescue. One hour later, the firefighters rescued the trapped driver and carried him onto a 120 ambulance to be taken to hospital for treatment.
