Tyres knock over petrol station worker after coming loose from lorry

A pair of rolling tyres knocked over a worker at a petrol station in north-western China after they fell off a lorry.

The video, provided by local media, shows two men pushing the gate to open a petrol station, then running away to avoid the two tyres that came rolling towards them at high speed.

The tyres then hit a parked truck and bounced back to knock a nearby worker onto the ground.

According to reports, the two tyres fell from a truck driving past the petrol station.

The worker was left with minor injuries and a fuel dispenser and two vehicles were damaged.

The case is now being investigated by local authorities.
