Beijing - A woman teacher in China lost both of her legs while trying to save students from an uncontrolled bus outside the school.
Zhang Lili, a 29-year-old teacher at a school in Heilongjiang province, also suffered major fractures of her lumbar vertebrae, weight-bearing portion of the back, and pelvis in the accident, People's Daily reported Monday.
The accident happened last Tuesday when some students were walking to a van and two buses lined up to take students home.
The bus at the end suddenly lurched forward and hit the other bus, pushing it toward the van and a car in the opposite lane. Several students were passing between the van and the bus.
Zhang, who was crossing the road, rushed to the students and pulled them to safety. But she was knocked down and the bus ran over her legs.
At the hospital, doctors had to amputate her legs to save her life.
She was in stable but critical condition after being moved to a larger hospital.
