Liangshan, China – A truck attempting to drive through floodwaters became trapped in a powerful current, leaving three people in extreme danger.

Firefighters quickly built a makeshift “life channel” to reach the stranded truck and its occupants.

Using a crane, rescuers secured and stabilized the vehicle against the force of the flood.
