A Chinese man went viral after spending almost an hour with his head stuck in a traffic light after crashing into it with an electric scooter.

A shockingly bizarre traffic accident got a lot of attention on Chinese social media last month, when a young man driving an electric scooter crashed into a temporary traffic light in the city of Chengdu. Following the impact, the man’s head somehow became stuck inside the traffic light, and firefighters were called to free him from the unusual cage. That was easier said than done, however, as even the first responders spent around 40 minutes cutting away at the metal casing to safely release the man’s head. The man was then taken to a local hospital and made a full recovery, but he’ll have a much tougher time recovering from the hilarious online jokes the incident inspired.

“A head-on collision, but with only light damage,” a clever Reddit user expertly described the situation.

“This is as rare as winning the lottery,” someone else commented, while other people compared the man to the Green Lantern.
