Elderly Man Trapped on Expressway: The Full Story of a Harrowing Situation

The first hot topic of the day involves an elderly man trapped on an expressway.

Literally, a harrowing incident occurred where an elderly man was wandering on an expressway where vehicles were speeding by.

He was safely rescued thanks to the response of citizens and the police.

This happened on the Honam Expressway on June 16.

As you can see, vehicles are speeding by at nearly 100 km/h.

A man in his 60s is seen precariously crossing between the traffic.

He later moved around the median strip, creating a dangerous situation that could have easily led to a major accident.

Police and citizens stepped in to help.

Citizens voluntarily cleared a path for the patrol car responding to the report.

The police arrived at the scene 9 minutes after receiving the report and were able to rescue the man safely.

It turned out that the man had a severe mental disability.

It was determined that he had left his home near the expressway, lost his way, and wandered onto the highway.

To prevent a recurrence, the police have requested that the local police station provide him with a location-tracking smart tag.

It is fortunate that no major accident occurred.
