A quick-thinking man stopped a runaway truck from crashing into a house in central China.

CCTV footage filmed in Xianning City in Hubei Province on April 22, shows a driverless truck loaded with goods rolling out of control and smashing into a residential house.

A woman, engrossed in her phone beside the house, narrowly escaped injury by leaping to safety. The runaway vehicle, propelled by its momentum, climbed up a slope in front of the house before the front of the truck crashed through the home's main entrance.

The truck then began to roll backward down the slope. In a heroic act, a man holding a baby dashed into the cabin and pulled the handbrake, bringing the truck to a standstill.

It emerged that the truck driver had parked the vehicle outside his home to quickly grab dinner, forgetting to engage the handbrake.

The accident resulted in the damage to the house's main gate, but fortunately, no one was injured. Compensation for the damages has been agreed upon by the truck driver.

4月22日，湖北咸宁，一辆满载货物的无人驾驶大货车突然溜车，直接撞向了对面民房。民房旁一位正在看手机的女子发觉异常后紧急避开。大货车因为惯性太强，直接爬上民房前的斜坡后，车头撞破了民房的大门。随后大货车又开始后退溜车，紧急关头，一位抱娃的男子冲上了驾驶室，拉起了手刹，将货车停稳。据了解，当时大货车司机急着去吃晚饭，忘记拉手刹，把车停在了家门口，没想到会发生溜车。事故造成了对面民房的大门受损，没有人受伤，具体赔偿已商定由货车司机负责。
