China News Service, Changzhi, June 3 (Yang Peipei Luping) A man accidentally fell into the ditch outside the road while riding a bicycle alone. He was unable to reach his mobile phone due to serious injuries and was trapped for more than ten hours before being discovered by passers-by. On the morning of June 2, the man was rescued by fire rescue personnel in Licheng County, Shanxi Province.

　　On the afternoon of June 1, a young man in Licheng County drove an electric bicycle to the road section near Dongbi Village in Chengjiashan Township, and even led the car out of the road and fell into a side ditch about 4 meters deep. After the incident, the man tried to call the police for help, but he was unable to move due to the serious physical injuries and could not detect the mobile phone that fell 3 meters away.

　　Later, because the voice of the man calling for help was weak, and there were few people walking on the road and the bottom of the ditch was covered with weeds, no one had found the injured man. He could only bear the pain and lie in the ditch at night until the 2nd 7 Shi Xucai was discovered by passers-by and called the police.

　　When eight firefighters from the Licheng County Fire and Rescue Brigade arrived at the scene, they found that the injured man had a painful expression and could not move his upper body. Only his legs could move slightly, and he did not have the conditions to cooperate with the rescue on his own.

　　Since there were no fixed objects such as trees on the road, two firefighters, under the protection of their teammates, slipped the rope to the injured and trapped man. After several efforts, the man was picked up in a standing state, and the firefighters took home the safety belt.

　　At 7:58, the firefighters, with the cooperation of the public security police and enthusiastic people, slowly pulled up the injured man who had been trapped for more than ten hours by vertical lifting, and the medical staff rushed him to the hospital.

　　Rescue personnel confirmed on site that the rescued man did not drink alcohol before the incident. (Finish)
