Police say the lorry - loaded with 40 tons of coal - was going too fast to make a turning into the exit ramp leading from a mine in Qingzhen, south west China.
And after crashing through a safety barrier, the out of control truck was only saved when it ploughed through a pile of sand being used by builders.
"It was enough to slow it down. The driver had been convinced he was going to die and took a lot of persuading to climb out of his cab and back up the truck," said a police spokesman.
This sort of thing is exactly why I detest driving in the mountains.

Wow. I would have soiled my pants and cried.
Yipes! Be careful out there. At least you seem to have mostly the flatland route.
