After a rescue operation which lasted several hours Mr Huang was cut free from the wreckage and was saved without his limbs being amputated.

Recovering in hospital, Huang said: 'I was doubly blessed this day. I got the love of my wife unconditionally and I have the good fortune to return to her a whole man. I am very lucky.'

Staff spent almost a day clearing the wreckage from the smash.
