With a few seconds left on the red light, an 80-year-old man in his electric wheelchair crossed the road and tried to squeeze through the gap between the trucks.
Just then, the light turned green and the traffic started moving. The old man fell into the truck's blind spot and was pushed away without the driver knowing.

In the "life-threatening" moment, a young man in a yellow shirt riding a motorbike from the opposite direction discovered the incident.
He immediately turned around, accelerated to chase the truck, honking and shouting to signal. Thanks to that, the driver stopped the car in time, discovered the incident and immediately called the police.
When the police arrived, the young man in the yellow shirt had already left. The authorities determined that if they did not intervene promptly, the consequences would be very serious. Immediately after that, they sent out a notice to search for the "yellow shirt hero".

The story quickly attracted attention and received countless compliments from the online community. One person commented: "It seemed like saving the old man, but actually saving the driver." "Don't blame the shipper for being late, maybe they were saving someone," another person wrote.
On the afternoon of March 26, the Changzhou Economic Development Zone's Noble Deeds Fund honored and awarded Mr. Yuan Jianlong - the "yellow shirt hero" who appeared in the video.
Sharing about his actions, Vien Kien Long said: "I just did what needed to be done. At that time, the only thought in my mind was to stop the truck immediately, it was too dangerous!".
Police also reminded the elderly to obey traffic laws when going out to ensure safety for themselves and those around them.
