Caught on camera: How an out-of-control e-rickshaw was finally stopped in China
Surveillance cameras in East China's Bozhou city have captured how a traffic cop, with the help of commuters, brought an out-of-control electronic rickshaw, or e-rickshaw, to a stop.
Shocking CCTV footage tweeted by CGTN shows an e-rickshaw collide with a car at an intersection. The force of the impact throws the e-rickshaw driver out of the vehicle. As the man lies motionless on the ground, the e-rickshaw starts spinning around in circles. At one point, it appears to slam into the driver as well.
Seeing the commotion, a traffic cop at the scene rushes to try and stop the e-rickshaw but fails.
A passerby rushes over to help the officer. On camera, both men can be seen straining to stop the e-rickshaw. They fail and instead are dragged in circles behind the vehicle.
At this point, at least six other people rush to help them. Four cling to the back of the e-rickshaw while the others bravely rush to the front in an effort to stop the vehicle in its tracks.
