They desperately lean forward and tap the 66-year-old driver in an attempt to wake him.
But when he fails to respond, the passengers grab the steering wheel and desperately try to control the fast-moving car.
The vehicle can be seen jolting violently as they attempt to steer it along the road.
Eventually, the taxi slows before coming to a stop, with the driver beginning to show signs of movement.
The passengers then frantically wave at other road users in an attempt to get help, as reported by Need To Know.

The ordeal lasted more than 30 seconds, with the taxi scraping against a concrete roadside barrier before it was brought to a halt.
Police were alerted by one of the female passengers.
Emergency responders arrived to find the driver, surnamed Li, unconscious.
He was taken by ambulance to hospital with no visible injuries.
The taxi was left with a burst front tyre but no obvious damage to its bodywork.

They were later transferred to another taxi.
