In a split-second act of bravery, an 11-year-old girl in central China's Henan town leaped to save her baby sister from a runaway electric mini cabin scooter that crashed into a restaurant, narrowly avoiding a tragedy on Monday.
In Henan Province's Xihua County of Zhoukou City, the surveillance video showed an elderly man who had just finished his meal at a restaurant standing beside his newly purchased cabin scooter. With the driver unfamiliar its control, the scooter suddenly drove off automatically and crashed inside the restaurant, heading directly toward a young toddler of the restaurant owner.
In a moment of crisis, the toddler's 11-year-old sister sprang into action, snatching her sibling away before the scooter smashed into the wall.
Following the incident, the elderly driver sincerely apologized and agreed to compensate for the economic losses.
The restaurant owner learned that the accident was unintentional and, since no serious injuries occurred, only requested compensation for the damaged glass door.

Some Iranian citizens are skeptical about the prospects for a lasting peace agreement, after the United States and Iran agreed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) that ended more than 100 days of conflict between the two countries.
Iran, the United States and Pakistan early Monday announced the finalization of the MoU on ending the war in the region on all fronts, including Lebanon. The agreement was signed early Thursday by the Iranian president and his U.S. counterpart, Donald Trump.
U.S. Vice President JD Vance said Thursday at a White House briefing that the MoU triggered a 60-day negotiating period that began on Thursday and is due to expire on Aug 17.
On the streets of Tehran, residents expressed mixed reactions towards the MoU, with some voicing wariness based on past experience with negotiations.
"If an agreement is reached and it serves the interests of our country, we support it. However, during the previous two rounds of negotiations we were attacked, and officials must be cautious and take the interests of the Iranian people into account in these talks and agreements, so that they lead to economic prosperity and improved conditions," said Alireza, a Tehran resident.
"We are not at all optimistic about Mr. Trump. During the negotiations, we were attacked twice. I think this time will be the same as before," said Aziz, another Tehran resident.
On Feb. 28, Israel and the United States launched joint attacks on Tehran and other Iranian cities. Iran responded with waves of missile and drone attacks targeting Israel and U.S. bases and assets in the region.
