Dozens of people rushed to her aid, and the front and rear wheels on the driver's side were lift up as the cab was rolled backwards to free her.
Speaking to the Evening Standard, witness Laura Fares said: I saw this woman under the cab and I couldn't quite believe it. At that point, nobody was doing anything.
"Something inside me kicked in and suddenly I just started shouting at people to help. I started screaming 'help or she's going to die'.
"I started shouting at men passing by, screaming 'you're a man we need you'. All these bankers and city workers then just started dropping their briefcases and running over."
The Telegraph reports that Laura said the woman was "pale, but blinking", and added: "I am so glad she was alright. The emergency services and crews arrived about five to ten minutes after we freed her.
"When I went back to the scene after work it was all cordoned off. I would absolutely love to meet her - I'm so glad she is alive."
The woman was discharged from hospital after being treated for soft tissue damage.
The Metro reports that the video was taken by Tiaan Trahms, a a consultant for a technology company, who called it "one of the most amazing things I've ever seen."
