A Vietnamese taxi driver's decision to circle back after noticing something troubling on a bridge saved the lives of a mother and her toddler in a late-night rescue that has since moved millions online.
Trần Thị Xuân Huế was returning from a passenger drop-off at around 11.38pm when she spotted a woman holding a young child, believed to be about two years old, crying near Rạch Miễu Bridge.
She drove past initially, but unease crept over her the further she went. Fearing the worst, she turned the car around.

When the 35-year-old pulled up again, she found the pair dangerously close to the bridge's outer railing.
She jumped out of her vehicle and rushed towards them, physically holding the woman back while calling out to passing motorists to stop and help.
Several people did, gathering around the distraught mother and offering calm, steady words of encouragement as a group.
The woman reportedly told those present that she had been overwhelmed by mounting family pressures, particularly financial disputes with her husband.
