A quick-thinking driver turned a bus around, breaking through a highway reservation, to avoid a scooter rider falling onto a road in southern China.

CCTV footage filmed in the city of Nanping in Fujian Province on August 10, 2021 shows a scooter rider suddenly falling down onto the middle of a road as it was slippery after recent rain.

An oncoming bus swerved immediately to avoid the scooter rider.

Although the bus crashed into the central reservation, it did not hit the scooter rider and no passenger was injured.

2021年8月10日下午17点左右，福建南平。公交公司1路车驾驶员郑丰雷驾驶着车辆开往西芹新亭小区方向。当车行至高速路口路段时，右道的一辆电动车由于雨天路滑突然倒地，电动车驾驶员被甩至公交车行驶车道上，危险来得猝不及防，郑丰雷立即向左猛打方向盘，采取紧急避让措施，在避让的过程中，虽然撞倒了马路中间的多个防护栏，但这一举动挽救了电动车驾驶者的生命。
接到驾驶员事故报告后，南平公交公司安全管理相关人员第一时间赶到事故现场，安抚事故受惊人员，保护现场，配合交警部门勘察取证。了解事故经过后，公司领导对郑丰雷的应急反应能力和紧急避让措施予以了肯定，正是他保持中途行驶和在本次突发交通状况中的迅速反应、得当处置，才避免一起道路交通伤亡事故的发生，车厢内亦无一乘客受伤。（视频由福建台提供）
