Firefighters in east China's Jiangsu Province on Wednesday rescued two motorbike riders from the gravel dumping run off from a truck in a traffic crash.

The legs of the riders were buried under the truck's dumper loaded with over ten tons of gravel as they ran a red light, forcing the oncoming truck swerve and fell on its right side.

The firefighters shoveled the gravel and used cranes and hydraulic spreaders to pull the dumper parts sticking in the legs.

The riders were rescued and sent to hospital after hours of rescue operation.

Further investigation into the cause of the accident is still under way.

Dumb luck favored dumb asses that day. Hats off to all those first-responders for saving them.

Could have been much worse.

"Further investigation into the cause of the accident is still under way." Really? He ran a red light--without even looking both ways first.

After recovery, they will be summarily executed by the state.
