[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Heeyoon] Coway announced on the 13th that its Home Care Doctor received a commendation for saving passengers through quick action after taking over for a bus driver who lost consciousness and collapsed while boarding a village bus.

According to Coway, Mr. Shin Jeong-mu, who is active as a Home Care Doctor, operated the bus's braking system and quickly responded to save the bus driver and passengers after the driver lost consciousness while boarding a village bus on Tongillo in Deogyang-gu, Goyang-si, around 5:30 p.m. on the 2nd.

At the time, when the bus was stopped at a downhill slope and began to roll backward without moving forward while waiting at a signal, Mr. Shin sensed something was wrong and quickly approached the driver's seat. Discovering the driver losing consciousness, Mr. Shin pressed the brake pedal to stop the rolling bus, preventing a major accident.

Mr. Shin, who holds a Class 1 large vehicle license, moved the stopped bus to the roadside and assisted at the crisis scene until the very end, Coway explained.

Mr. Shin said, "I didn't do anything extraordinary, and other passengers also stepped up to prevent a major accident," adding, "He is a kind person who always greets me brightly whenever I board the village bus, and I hope he was not harmed in this incident."

Meanwhile, Coway introduced Mr. Shin's good deed on the company bulletin board and expressed gratitude with a CEO award. The Goyang Police Station recognized his contribution to accident prevention and awarded him a commendation.
