[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Bong-ju] An Australian woman trapped in the trunk of a car while running with a stabbing wound used her wits to survive.


According to Australia's public broadcaster ABC on the 4th (local time), at around 11:30 a.m. the previous day, a truck driver on a highway 100 km southwest of Sydney, New South Wales (NSW), instinctively recognized a call for help when he saw a car driving ahead.


The taillight spot of the white car driving ahead was empty, and a person's hand was reaching out through the hole.


The driver reported it to the police, and about 20 minutes later, the highway patrol arrived at the scene, stopped the reported vehicle, and searched it.


The police found and successfully rescued a woman in her 20s who was stabbed and trapped in the trunk.


The police then arrested the female driver and another woman riding in the vehicle at the scene.


Local media reported that the woman trapped in the trunk appeared to have removed the taillight and reached out her hand through the hole to request rescue.


The victim was taken to a nearby hospital for treatment and is reported to be in stable condition.



The police are investigating the case as a drug-related kidnapping incident.
