On the 13th, the scene of recovering an overturned vehicle near the Bukyangyang IC curve on the Yangyang Expressway in Gangwon Province. Bobae Dream
A story has moved many people after it was reported that a member of the Korea Coast Guard witnessed a vehicle overturning on a highway in Gangwon Province, helped manage the accident, and then quietly disappeared.
According to an online community post on the 27th, at around 6 p.m. on the 12th, the mother of the informant, identified as A, was driving near the Bukyangyang IC on the Yangyang Expressway when her car overturned while navigating a curve. The informant's mother became trapped between the driver's seat and the floor, and while she was calling for help, a man climbed over to the passenger side and rescued her.
He then told passersby, "I will take care of everything," sending them on their way. He seated the informant's mother in his own car, turned on the heater and radio, and reassured her. After witnessing the accident, he directed traffic for an hour and managed the scene in the rain until the police and ambulance arrived.
The informant said, "It was pouring rain, and he took my mother, who was soaking wet, into his car and comforted her." The informant added, "When my mother apologized repeatedly, he introduced himself as a member of the Korea Coast Guard and said, 'I'm just doing what I should as a police officer.'"
The informant continued, "When my mother asked for his contact information and name, he simply said he was doing what anyone should and promised to visit her restaurant for a meal someday, then quietly disappeared. In these harsh times, we are grateful that such people still exist and that he appeared just when my mother needed help."
