An 11-year-old girl became a real heroine by saving her younger sister, just two years old, from an imminent run-over by a runaway electric vehicle in the city of Zhoukou in Henan’s Chinese province.
The incident occurred when an elderly man, who had recently acquired the vehicle, lost control of it and abruptly entered a restaurant where the two children were – daughters of the space owner.
The video surveillance images captured the dramatic moment when the vehicle invades the restaurant, but also the impressive speed of reaction of the girl, who managed to grab her sister in time to push her from the path of the collision.
Despite the fright, no one was injured. The visibly shaken driver apologized and pledged to cover the damage caused in the establishment. An episode that could have ended in tragedy, but eventually evidenced the protective instinct and courage of the young woman.
