Vietnamese rescuers swiftly freed a South Korean tourist who had been trapped under a 45-seater bus following a collision with a motorbike in Da Nang City on Tuesday afternoon.
The incident occurred at 4:27 pm, when the command information center at the Da Nang police department received reports of a person pinned beneath a bus on a road leading to Linh Ung Pagoda.
Rescue teams, along with vehicles and equipment, were immediately dispatched to the scene.
Upon arrival, they discovered that the South Korean woman had sustained multiple injuries.
According to one of the rescuers, they immobilized the bus and employed air lifting bags and a hydraulic hoist to elevate the vehicle and free the victim.
Within ten minutes, the rescuers managed to extract the 32-year-old woman and transfer her to medical personnel for treatment.
Dashcam footage from a passing car showed that the bus was traveling on the right side of the road when a motorbike suddenly veered from the opposite direction and slid, resulting in the woman being trapped under the bus.
Authorities have launched an investigation to determine the cause of the accident.
