When help eventually arrived, he and his wife walked out hale and hearthy, without any of their bones crushed despite the weight of the truck.

“I haven’t tweeted about this before. On the 6th of October, while driving home, our car was rammed into by a tanker fully laden with petrol. The tanker head fell on us, and we got trapped for over one hour. My wife and I walked out of this scene without a broken bone,” he wrote.
