A burning truck rolled back into oncoming traffic on a busy highway in Perth, Australia, just as firefighters arrived, after the intense heat of the flames in the cabin caused its brakes to fail.
Several people in a nearby building witnessed the fire after the truck caught alight on. One captured the fire on video, including the agonising moment when the truck begin to roll slowly backwards into oncoming traffic.

Incredibly, the truck did not hit any moving or parked cars, or damage any property, before it came to a stop on the other side of the highway. Julie Haniff, who witnessed the fire, said she could feel the fire through the window of a nearby building.
"The windows were vibrating, there was black smoke going around the apartment, people inside those apartments actually had to evacuate as well," she said. Pink Hygiene said an electrical fault was to blame for the fire, which started in the dashboard as the truck was being driven.
