A heartwarming act of solidarity unfolded recently at the intersection of Donggu Road and Dannan Road in Xiangshan District, Ningbo, eastern China. An electric tricycle accident saw a senior citizen, surnamed Li, trapped beneath his overturned vehicle, but the quick response of over a dozen concerned citizens ensured a swift and safe rescue.

The incident occurred at around 9 am when Mr. Li, disregarding the red traffic light, proceeded through the intersection. As he navigated the middle of the road, a car approaching from the opposite direction forced him to slam on the brakes in an attempt to avoid a collision. Unfortunately, this sudden maneuver caused the tricycle to lose balance and topple over, pinning Mr. Li underneath.

The driver of the oncoming car, surnamed Zhang, immediately stopped and attempted to lift the tricycle off Mr. Li. Simultaneously, a flurry of passersby—motorcyclists, car occupants, sanitation workers, pedestrians, and even a traffic policeman on duty at the crossing—converged on the scene from all directions. United in their purpose, they worked in unison and managed to free Mr. Li from beneath the heavy tricycle in a mere 30 seconds.

Thanks to this timely intervention and Mr. Li's wise decision to wear a helmet, he emerged unscathed from the ordeal.
