RIYADH: A Saudi man who risked his life driving a burning truck away from a petrol station, possibly preventing an explosion and saving lives, is “improving” in hospital, his nephew told Arab News on Tuesday. Maher Fahd Al-Dalbahi, in his 40s, encountered the truck loaded with animal feed and engulfed in flames around 300 km outside Riyadh while driving to his village, Al-Salihiya, on Friday night. The truck’s driver had abandoned the vehicle, leaving it dangerously close to the petrol pumps. Al-Dalbahi climbed inside and steered it into an open area, away from crowds and fuel tanks.
