At this time, a woman suddenly drove an electric bicycle, intending to rush straight through the intersection. Discovering the incident, Mr. Trinh Minh Tuan quickly ran over, using his whole body to block the above vehicle, causing both of them to fall onto the road.

After the clip was posted on social media, public opinion praised the timely action of the traffic police officers of Ha Tinh City Police.

Speaking with VietNamNet reporters, the leader of the Ha Tinh City Traffic Police Team said that at the time when the traffic police signaled a road closure, the woman may not have paid attention to the signal, which led to the incident.

"Fortunately, neither the woman nor the traffic police officer were injured. If we had not stopped her in time, she would have rushed straight into the priority convoy, which would have been very dangerous. The actions of traffic police officer Trinh Minh Tuan are commendable," said the leader of the Ha Tinh City Traffic Police Team.
