An ambulance rushing to a hospital was slammed in the side by a taxi, flipping the ambulance over. A passing by flatbed truck then helped to carry the patient to the hospital, with the doctor and other helpful citizens holding the stretcher onboard.

The ambulance was carrying a man suffering a heart attack in Henan, China, on Feb. 23, according to the Beijing Youth News. The patient has successfully recovered. In an act of modesty, the driver of the truck left the hospital after delivering the patient without letting anyone know.

The Backup Ambulance

A nurse named Yuan Lingling told the Beijing Youth News that she was riding in the ambulance with the patient. Yuan said that after the ambulance got off the highway, it passed through the intersection where the accident happened.
