'Moses Miracle' Created by Police and Citizens on Chuseok Day... Saved an Emergency Patient

40s Woman with Vaginal Bleeding Due to Hypoglycemic Shock
Arrived 25km in 25 Minutes Amid Severe Traffic Congestion

On Chuseok day, an emergency patient traveling in a private ambulance faced a critical situation due to traffic congestion, but thanks to the help of the police and citizens, the patient safely underwent emergency surgery.

On the 23rd, a video titled "The Miracle of Moses on Chuseok" was uploaded to the YouTube channel 'Busan Police.' The video shows that on the 17th, Chuseok day, a woman in her 40s, Ms. A, who was experiencing bleeding symptoms due to hypoglycemic shock, was being transported in a private ambulance from Geoje Island, Gyeongnam, to a university hospital in Seo-gu, Busan.

At the time, Ms. A required emergency surgery, but severe traffic congestion occurred starting from the Geoga Bridge underwater tunnel connecting Geoje and Busan, preventing the ambulance from speeding up. Eventually, the private ambulance requested police escort by calling 112 at around 12:05 PM.

In response, a patrol car from the Gadeok Police Substation of the Gangseo Police Station in Gadeokdo, Busan, immediately dispatched and began escorting the ambulance with sirens on from the Seongbuk Interchange in Gadeokdo. As a result, on the two-lane one-way road, cars moved aside on both sides, creating a path in the center.

Later, from Jangnim-dong, Saha-gu, Busan, a patrol car from the Sinpyeong Police Substation of the Saha Police Station, which had been waiting in advance, took over the escort. The ambulance safely arrived at the hospital in Seo-gu, Busan, at around 12:40 PM, 25 minutes after the 112 call. The patient immediately underwent surgery upon arrival at the university hospital emergency room and is currently recovering.

Netizens who heard the news responded with comments such as "Let's move aside when we see an ambulance," "Wishing the patient a speedy recovery," "A life was saved thanks to people's consideration," and "Applause for everyone's efforts."

Meanwhile, a police official told Yonhap News Agency, "The private ambulance was unable to speed up when moving alone," adding, "Since there was only one patrol car at the Gangseo-gu Gadeok Police Substation, the Sinpyeong Police Substation patrol car supported the escort from Saha-gu, allowing the ambulance to travel 25 km from Gadeokdo to Seo-gu, Busan, in 25 minutes."
