A man was in fear for his life after a shocking accident saw him become stuck in an oily pit for a night.
The 32-year-old fell in the pit when he was returning home from work in the Russian oil region of Tatarstan and was unable to get out.
The man had to be rescued after becoming stuck for around seven hours in a pit full of bitumen. Remarkable footage showed the man up to his neck in oil, with only his head and hands exposed.
