According to Gwangju Nambu Police Station on the 31st, at 10:37 p.m. on the 29th, an urgent report from a middle-aged woman asking to "find her finger" was received at the police situation room.

The middle-aged woman, Ms. A, got into a taxi after a drinking party and got off around 9:52 p.m. about 3 km away from her home.

Ms. A suffered an accident where part of her finger was caught and severed in the gap of the taxi door while getting off. However, she did not realize the injury due to intoxication.

After walking for about 40 minutes to arrive at her home, Ms. A belatedly noticed that part of her index finger joint was missing.

Ms. A reported to 112, and after a midnight search by the police, the severed part was found on the road within 2 hours, but ultimately she was unable to receive reattachment surgery.

After confirming that Ms. A's finger joint was severed, the police officers began searching for the severed finger joint while the 119 ambulance transported Ms. A to the hospital.

First, by tracking Ms. A's credit card usage, they identified the taxi driver Mr. C through the taxi company, and traces of the accident were confirmed in the gap of the taxi's rear door. However, the finger joint was not inside the taxi.

The police thoroughly searched with flashlights around the accident site where Ms. A got off and the area about 300 meters away where the next passenger boarded.

Eventually, the police found Ms. A's finger joint at around 12:30 a.m. on the 30th, about 1 hour and 50 minutes after the report.

The police quickly rushed to the hospital where Ms. A was receiving treatment, carrying the finger joint.

Ms. A received emergency treatment and was transferred to a university hospital, but due to the late hour and missing the golden time, she was reportedly unable to undergo reattachment surgery.
