A video clip of the dramatic rescue act has been shared by Indian Administrative Service officer Awanish Sharan.</p>
<p>
The speeding truck is seen coming into the toll plaza and then suddenly swerving into the toll booth to avoid ramming into the car. The occupants of the car also have a narrow escape as they could have been crushed by the huge truck carrying cement.</p>
<p>
In the midst of the crash, a woman is seen instinctively running towards the booth to pull out a toll booth worker to safety.</p>
<p>
The incident happened on Saturday at 2: 36 pm at Lachhiwala toll plaza, news agency ANI reported. The injured woman was sent to hospital after the cement-laden truck hit the toll plaza and tipped over.</p>
<p>
“Watch carefully. In Dehradun’s toll plaza accident, a young woman, without caring for her life, saved a toll plaza worker by rushing inside the booth,” Sharan said in the caption of the clip in Hindi.</p>
