Surveillance camera caught police, a bus driver, passengers and passersby in Heze, eastern China’s Shangdong province, lifting a bus on Thursday morning when it accidentally rolled over the legs of an elderly woman.  The elderly woman was later rescued.

According to reports, the elderly woman became wedged into the chassis of the bus, unable to pull herself out. Passersby began shouting that someone had been run over, calling to others to provide assistance. 30 to 40 people rushed to the side of the bus, according to a male pedestrian interviewed after the event. Through their collective effort, they tilted the bus up enough so others could pull the elderly woman out. 

After receiving emergency treatment on her leg,  the woman was taken to a nearby hospital for further treatment.
