A quick-thinking woman jumped into a truck to stop it from sliding down a slope in eastern China

The CCTV footage was filmed in Bozhou in Anhui Province on July 20.

Ms Wang, a forklift operator who had just stepped down from her vehicle when she noticed the unattended lorry beginning to move due to it being parked on an incline, combined with the driver's forgetfulness to apply the handbrake.

Instinctively, she dashed to the truck's cabin and managed to stop it just in time, avoiding a possibly catastrophic outcome had the vehicle rolled onto the busy street.

Wang stated that she acted impulsively to halt the runaway vehicle, acknowledging that it could have led to severe consequences if the truck had reached the road.

7月20日，安徽亳州。一货车突然溜车冲向马路，女子眼疾手快冲进驾驶室及时刹停。当事人王女士称，自己是一名铲车司机，当时刚从铲车上下来，恰好发现货车前溜，自己当时本能去制止溜车。因停车的地方有一定坡度，加上司机忘拉手刹就溜车了。王女士表示，如果溜到马路上可能会造成更严重的后果就上前制止，看到监控后也不知道自己当时哪来的勇气，最后她又帮忙把货车停到了平坦安全的地方。
