On Sunday, July 21, a heart-stopping incident unfolded on the Senai-Desaru Highway overpass when a woman attempted to jump into the Johor River. The dramatic scene, which occurred in the afternoon, was fortunately averted by the quick actions of three motorcyclists who happened to be passing by.
As photos and videos of the rescue spread across social media, they showcased the bravery and quick thinking of not just the motorcyclists but also other road users who stepped in to help. The images captured the intense moments when the bystanders joined forces to prevent the woman from taking her own life.
In a gripping 21-second video, the men can be seen struggling to hold onto the woman as she teetered on the edge of the bridge. Their determination and combined efforts ultimately succeeded, pulling her back to safety and averting a potential tragedy.
