The footage captures a fast-thinking rescue that prevented what could have been a costly, and potentially dangerous, collision. The incident has drawn praise online for the teenager's quick reactions in averting the crash.

The dramatic sequence, captured on camera, unfolded within seconds, leaving little time to act. Details of the exact location, date and identities of those involved were not specified in the available report.
