A video is making the rounds on Facebook showing people from all walks of life in Singapore coming to the rescue of a man who had been pinned under a truck.

The accident, according to the Singapore Civil Defence Force, occurred at the junction of Bendemeer Road and Boon Keng Road on Wednesday, around lunchtime.

Some 30 individuals are seen in the clip running towards and huddling to one side of the truck as they lifted it up to release a young man who was said to be trapped, alive and screaming for help.

According to a Channel NewsAsia report, the Singapore Civil Defence Force said the man who was pinned beneath the lorry is a pedestrian in his 20s, and was sent conscious to Tan Tock Seng Hospital with a leg fracture.

Impressively, the SCDF added that they didn't need to rescue anyone. Good job to these noble men indeed!
