According to the Gyeongbuk Provincial Fire Department on the 28th, at around 9:29 a.m. on the 27th, a large trailer vehicle slipped on the snow and collided with a guardrail on the Pungsan Bridge toward Busan on the Jungang Expressway in Gyepyeong-ri, Pungsan-eup, Andong-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do.
In this accident, the lower body of the trailer driver, a man in his 60s, fell out of the railing of the 11m high bridge. The head of the trailer, where the driver’s seat was located, was hanging over the railing.
Paramedic Park Jun-hyeon (34) and fellow firefighters from the Pungsan 119 Safety Center were the first to arrive at the scene. Firefighter Park said, “The lower body was missing from the head of the trailer, and only the upper body was hanging over the driver’s seat. As soon as I saw the driver, I thought it was dangerous and thought I had to grab his hand first.”
Firefighter Park, who brought only first aid equipment at the time, reached under the railing to somehow catch the driver. He barely managed to hold on to the driver’s wrist and held on for 45 minutes until the rescue team arrived.

Firefighter Park said, “Because it was a situation where a fall accident could occur, I continued to hold the driver’s hand instead of switching with other rescuers.” He added, “In preparation for an emergency situation, I wrapped a rope around the driver’s arm and connected it to two other rescuers.” “I did it,” he said of the situation at the time.
Firefighter Park, who joined the company on November 20, 2016, is in his 8th year as a paramedic.
