This is the touching moment firefighters block traffic on a busy Kaliningrad motorway so that an elderly woman can cross the road safely.
Firefighters valiantly use their vehicle to pull across oncoming traffic on a busy motorway in the Russian province of Kaliningrad, allowing the woman to safely make it across the remaining part of the road.
The footage, which was taken on November 18, shows the woman standing in the middle of the road, on what appear to be tram lines, trying to make it across.

The video shows the elderly woman, who appears to be holding two walking sticks, waiting in the middle of the road for the busy traffic to ease.
As she waits for the road to clear, a fire engine appears from the opposite side of the road and pulls in to the centre of the motorway.
The truck proceeds to block the first lane of the road and three men get out to stop the busy oncoming traffic.

The cars quickly come to a halt and one of the firefighters links arms with the Russian lady to help her make it across the road safely.
Despite facing the opposite way to oncoming traffic, drivers respectfully stop as the firefighters help the woman reach her destination.
The touching moment shows the woman safely reach the pavement, whilst the fireman jumps back into the truck, ready to drive off.
