A Vietnamese driver dislocated his ankle jumping from his truck to rescue a 2-year-old girl who had toddled alone onto National Highway 1, scooping her up in the middle of a four-lane stretch moments before a passing car had to swerve sharply to avoid hitting them both. Ly Van To, 31, was driving a delivery truck south from Quang Tri back to his home in Da Nang in central Vietnam at around 3:35 p.m. on April 4 when he spotted the child on the shoulder of Highway 1 at kilometer 860, a stretch that runs through Phu Loc Commune on the outskirts of Hue. The girl suddenly stepped into the traffic lane and began walking across the road, which carries four lanes at speeds of up to 90 kph. To braked, switched on his hazard lights and leaned on his horn to warn the cars behind him. He told Thanh Nien newspaper his first instinct was to pull onto the shoulder and then run back, but the girl kept moving faster than he expected. "I saw the child running straight across from that corner. I couldn't believe such a small child could make it all the way to the other side with cars going that fast," he said. "My reflex at that moment was that I had to stop the truck at any cost." ]]> Tue 07 Apr 2026 22:18:55 +0200 https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1613830/truck-driver-in-vietnam-stops-and-rescues-an-infant-on-the-highway/ https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1613806/terrifying-close-call-in-vietnam/
