Caught on cam: Daughter saves mother 

Chethana, a 40-year-old woman who is a regular traveller on the Rajarathnapura road, met with an unfateful accident last friday when she was toppled by an autorickshaw arriving her way. 

She was apparently rushing towards the other side of the road to meet her daughter and the rickshaw too was heavily speeding. This led to a clash where evidently the vehicle overpowered the woman and she ended up under it's weight. Following this, her little girl jumped up to her rescue. She exhibited an insane presence of mind and composure and went straight towards lifting the auto. Her action was aided by autorickshaw driver and the fellow passenger travelling via auto.
