Online Praise for the Solidarity Between Police and Citizens
A story about a pregnant woman who was stranded on an icy road and suffered from abdominal pain, but was able to receive hospital treatment and recover her health thanks to the help of police officers and citizens, has been released, warming the hearts of many. On December 15, a video titled "A Pregnant Woman Stranded on an Icy Road, Suffering from Abdominal Pain" was posted on the YouTube channel "Korean National Police Agency." The video shows the situation that occurred on December 4, when heavy snow suddenly hit the Seoul metropolitan area, and the police received a report that a pregnant woman, referred to as Ms. A, was stranded in her car on a road in Namyangju, Gyeonggi Province, suffering from abdominal pain. The emergency rescue request came amid severe traffic congestion caused by the unexpected heavy snowfall.

When the patrol car dispatched in response to the report arrived at the scene, citizens on the road voluntarily moved their vehicles aside to clear a path, and the police attempted to escort Ms. A's car. However, the police determined that it was difficult for Ms. A to drive herself due to her abdominal pain, so they decided to transport her to the hospital in the patrol car, while another police officer drove her car instead. The problem was the icy road conditions. Many sections were frozen, making the emergency transport difficult, and at one point, the patrol car’s wheels got stuck and spun helplessly on the ice during the journey.

At that moment, three citizens who witnessed the situation rushed over and helped the police officers push the patrol car so that the wheels could get out. Ms. A’s car, which was following behind, also got stuck in an icy section, but with the help of citizens, it was able to get out safely. Thanks to the cooperation between citizens and the police, the patrol car was able to get through the icy section and safely transport Ms. A to the hospital. Although Ms. A had been stranded in her car for about four hours due to the heavy snow, it was reported that she recovered her health after receiving hospital treatment. Viewers who watched the video left warm comments such as, "The citizens are truly amazing," "It was impressive to see the police and citizens working together," and "Thank you for protecting two lives."
