Recently, a thrilling incident occurred in Huailai County, Zhangjiakou, Hebei Province, where a truck lost control and began rolling downhill due to the handbrake not being engaged.

On December 24, a large truck was parked near a repair shop. The driver, due to negligence, forgot to engage the handbrake after parking. Under the force of gravity, the truck started slowly rolling forward.

At that moment, Mr. Zhao, the owner of the repair shop, was busy near the entrance. He suddenly noticed the truck rolling and saw that another truck was parked not far ahead by the roadside. If the truck continued moving forward, it would likely collide with the parked vehicle, causing a traffic accident.

Faced with this sudden danger, Mr. Zhao did not hesitate. He immediately sprinted toward the truck, quickly jumped into the driver's seat, and pulled the handbrake with all his strength. The truck eventually came to a safe stop, averting a crisis.

Recalling the incident later, Mr. Zhao said that his only thought at the time was to stop the runaway truck as quickly as possible. If he had been two seconds later, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
