Some Beijing residents were treated to an unscheduled fireworks display on Saturday night. A truck carrying fireworks caught fire, causing multicolored fireworks to illuminate the night sky.

The driver fled the scene immediately after the explosion and there's no way his truck will be carrying anything else for a while.

Firework accidents are common in China, especially at the start of the Lunar New Year.
