This dashcam footage captures the moment a billboard toppled over in Sichuan, a province located in China's southwest, falling on top of a motorcyclist and briefly trapping her underneath.

According to local media, the incident took place at around 8:30 am on the rainy morning on December 28.

The footage was taken from a bus that driver Zhang Jianwei was in at the moment of the incident. When it happened, he and other riders on the bus got off and rushed to the motorcyclist. They lifted the billboard and made sure the woman was alright before driving off.

Zhang has been hailed a local hero since, lauded for his quick thinking and bravery, but says he feels the praise is unwarranted.

"It was all very instinctive. When you see a billboard collapse and trap a person underneath it, your first thought is to help," he said.

The driver also acknowledged the help of the passengers on his bus.

"The minute I said we should go and help, everyone sprang to action," he added.

The motorcyclist did not suffer any major injuries from the accident.

12月28日上午8点33分，公交3路川R61858汽车在途中偶遇前方路边广告牌砸倒电瓶车，连人带车被压。“那个骑电瓶车的已经被压在广告牌下，还是公交司机师傅果断停车，叫我们跟他下车救人。”从电瓶车被压倒在地，到公交车师傅停车下车救人，这一系列动作在短短十几秒钟就完成了。这一切被乘客彭先生看在眼里，他连连为公交师傅点赞。从公交公司获悉，司机师傅名为张建伟，他救人后也未向公司提过此事，“谁遇到都会去救人的，这不算什么”。
12月28日，市民彭先生照常乘坐由鱼翅广场开往长青寺方向的3路公交车上班，在二桥头阆城一品红绿灯处，赶上了这起事故。“当时我们也没注意到前面广告牌压倒了人，公交师傅叫我们下去救人，我们就赶紧下去，一起把广告牌抬到旁边的绿化带里”回想起当时，彭先生称，当时问过骑电瓶车的女士，她表示人没事，我们才上车走了。
有感于司机师傅的见义勇为，彭先生回到家后还特意拨通了阆中滕王阁公交公司的电话为师傅点赞。但从公司了解到，在这通电话前，由于司机张建伟只字未提，公司也未曾听说此事。



随后，记者联系到张建伟师傅，说起这件事时他还有些不好意思，并不觉得自己救人有多值得夸赞。“其实完全就是本能，看到广告牌压倒了骑车的人，就想着赶紧下去救人”。这让目击者难忘的十几秒钟，在张建伟的记忆里只是轻描淡写的一瞬间。“当时想的很少，就觉得抬牌子需要人搭手，我这车上人多肯定能出份力”。“你看我一说救人，这车上下来好多人，大家一起才把牌子给抬走的”。将人救出后，看到骑车女子没事，张建伟也松了口气，这才从新上路。
据了解，张建伟师傅驾驶技术娴熟、安全行车意识高、关心妇孺、体贴老人、团结同事，深受广大乘客及同事的好评，他已连续多年被公司评为“先进工作者”“服务明星”“安全先进个人”，是公司典型的先进标兵。
