Passing villagers rescued a motorist after he accidentally drove into a reservoir in China.

The video was filmed in Xiangtan City in Hunan Province on July 8.

The motorist lost control of his car at a bend, causing it to slide into the deep reservoir.

The driver quickly rolled down the window and climbed onto the roof of the sinking vehicle, clinging on as he awaited rescue. Shortly after he climbed on top, the car sank beneath the water.

Several villagers happened to witness the dramatic scene and wasted no time springing into action. A man, despite not being a strong swimmer, plunged into the water without hesitation. He frantically searched for a rescue tool and found a wooden stick, which he cleverly threw to the stranded driver, providing a lifeline.

More villagers soon joined the rescue operation. Some entered the water to assist directly, while others stayed on shore to keep the driver calm and coordinate a more effective rescue strategy. Through their combined efforts, the driver was eventually pulled to safety.

It was later confirmed that the driver was alone in the car and, thanks to the prompt rescue, he suffered no major injuries.

7月8日，湖南湘潭，一名司机在驾驶过程中不慎将车辆驶入水库，危急时刻，几位路过的村民迅速展开救援行动，最终成功将司机从危险中解救出来。

当天下午，司机驾驶车辆在转弯处因操作失误，车辆失控滑入了深不见底的水库。面对突如其来的危险，司机展现出了极高的自救能力。他迅速降下车窗，利用短暂的逃生机会奋力爬到车顶，紧紧抓住车顶等待救援。这一冷静而果断的自救行为，不仅为他自己赢得了宝贵的生存时间，也为后续的救援行动创造了有利条件。男子登上车顶不久，车辆很快就沉没到水下。

与此同时，几位正巧路过的村民目睹了这一幕，他们没有丝毫犹豫，立即投入到救援行动中。监控视频显示，一位并不擅长游泳的男士，毫不犹豫地冲入水中，他奋力寻找可以救援的工具，最终找到了一根木棍。这根木棍虽然简单，却成为了救援的关键。他机智地将木棍扔向司机，为后续的救援提供了重要的帮助。

随后，更多的村民加入到了救援队伍中。他们有的下水协助救援，有的在岸上稳定司机的情绪，还有的在组织更有效的救援方案。在众人的共同努力下，经过紧张的救援行动，司机最终被安全救上了岸。

经了解，车上只有该男子一人，因为救助及时，男子除了受到惊吓外，并无大碍。
