The video of the incident has since gone viral on social media, with many praising her bravery and presence of mind.

“Admire her bravery. The lesson is to reach the handbrake rather than the leg brake,” wrote another user.

“What did the two guys think—that they could stop the truck by pulling?” another user remarked.
