[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kim Nayeon] Citizens lifted a vehicle to rescue a 7-year-old child who was run over while crossing a crosswalk.

According to the Jinhae Police Station in Gyeongnam on the 23rd, an accident occurred around 6:35 PM the previous day at an unmarked crosswalk in Jinhae-gu, Changwon, where 7-year-old boy A was riding a bicycle and was hit by a Morning passenger car.

As A fell, he was trapped under the front bumper of the vehicle. Upon seeing A trapped under the front bumper, about 10 citizens rushed to the vehicle. They lifted the vehicle and moved it aside to check on A's condition while he was lying down.

The rescued A was transported to the hospital with head and back injuries. Although seriously injured, fortunately, his life is not in danger.

The accident occurred while the Morning passenger car was turning right and passing the crosswalk.

The police confirmed through nearby CCTV and black box footage that the vehicle did not stop at the crosswalk but continued driving.

The driver, B, in his 20s, reportedly told the police that he did not see the child crossing.

The police plan to file charges for violating the Special Act on Traffic Accident Handling after investigating the circumstances of the accident.
