A man was killed after being dragged by a tank truck for over 30 meters on the Nangang Bridge in Minhou, Fuzhou, capital of southeast China's Fujian province, on July 28. He died on the scene and his body was so mangled that it was unrecognizable.

The truck hit an electric scooter driving parallel to it when it turned right, hauling the driver under the truck.

The truck driver didn't stop until a driver caught up with him and informed him what had happened. He soon fled the scene and was reported to police.

There is no other information about the victim except his gender. According to the preliminary investigation, error in the driver's judgment and poor visibility were the causes.
