Taxi driver saves mother and child from jumping off Rach Mieu Bridge

A female taxi driver, Tran Thi Xuan Hue, successfully intervened to prevent a mother and her approximately two-year-old daughter from jumping off the Rach Mieu Bridge in Vietnam.

On the night of October 24, while driving back from Vinh Long to Dong Thap, Hue noticed a woman holding a young child near the bridge railing. Acting quickly, Hue rushed to embrace the woman to prevent her from jumping and called out to other commuters for assistance.

Following the intervention, several bystanders stopped to help comfort the woman. The mother reportedly intended to take her own life due to family and financial disputes with her husband. After receiving support and encouragement from Hue and others, the woman stabilized emotionally and returned home with her child.
