The strong wind uprooted the big tree on the side of the road, which collapsed onto the street just as the takeaway boy was passing by on an electric scooter n Jiaozuo, in the Chinese province of Henan on June 11.
But the driver escaped when the huge tree hit the back seat of his electric scooter instead, and the young man did not get hurt.
According to an eyewitness, called Mr. Fan, the tree was so thick that it took several people to remove it from the road using power saws.
He also stated that the incident could have been much worse if the boy had been driving at a slightly slower speed.
The winds were apparently so strong that even though the tree appears to have put roots underneath the road surface, even this was torn out of the ground.
The footage was posted on Douyin, The Chinese version of TikTok, where users commented about how lucky the delivery man was.
A user ‘little fairy’ commented: “I don’t understand why the delivery boy saw the tree toppling and still went forward.”
While ‘quiet’ commented: “He must have saved the galaxy in his previous life.”
And ‘Chen Ping’ commented: “The takeaway boy must have done a lot of good things.”
