The truck was driving on Highway G50 from Chongqing in western China to Jilin Province in northeast China when it was stopped by police in Enshi City. With reflective strips to warn people of dangerous cargo, the truck caught patrol police attention in a section of the highway that bans flammable and explosive goods.

The driver said he was entrusted by a company in Chongqing to deliver the goods to Jilin Province and he had no idea of goods in the container.
