A footage recorded by in-car dash camera revealed a tragic incident where a young couple was buried alive by pebbles in a car accident in southeast China’s Xiamen city. The young couple, who were recently engaged and ready to get married, was killed.

The footage started with normal talk between the couple, until the car came to a crossing where no traffic light was seen. A big truck loaded with pebbles collided into the couple’s car, and rolled over. 50 tonnes of pebbles loaded on truck were all poured onto the car from which the couple failed to flee as it all happened too fast. The last words of the bride-to-be was screaming and shouting: “Watch out!! Watch out!!!!”

The truck driver and passersby tried to help them out. For fear of hurting the couple inside, they had to use their hands to remove the pebbles. The fire fighters eventually arrived and used bulldozer to evacuate the car, only to find both the man and the woman had stopped breathing.

The truck driver was held for investigation by police.
