  On May 2, a heavy downpour suddenly struck, the water level in a tunnel in Dali, Nanhai, Foshan rose rapidly, and a van driver was trapped and drowned in the car.

After receiving the report, the police immediately launched a life-and-death rescue. After transferring the unconscious driver to a safe area, he kneeled to give him first aid, and the driver finally turned his danger to safety.

Recently, Foshan city and district public security organs have launched the "wartime commendation" mechanism and awarded third-class merit to the rescue of the people's police in wartime.

  Trapped in the rain tunnel life and death line

  At 7 o'clock in the evening on May 2, it was raining heavily in Dali, Nanhai, Foshan.

Unknowingly, the accumulated water in a tunnel on Lishui North Road has reached a depth of more than 1 meter.

  Mr. Deng, who was anxious to go home, drove into the rain-filled tunnel. What he didn't know was that the danger had quietly approached.

As the car drove deeper into the tunnel, the stagnant water became deeper and deeper. When he noticed that the front cover of the car had been soaked in stagnant water, the car that had lost power could not move.

Mr. Deng hurriedly opened the car door to escape, but found that due to the difference in water pressure inside and outside the car, no matter how much he pushed the door in the car, the car door remained motionless, and the windows could not be opened because of the power failure.

  In panic, Mr. Deng called his wife, Ms. Lan.

Due to the weak signal in the tunnel, the air in the car is getting thinner and thinner, and Mr. Deng's voice is getting smaller and smaller.

Ms. Lan immediately hung up the phone to call the police, but when she wanted to call her husband again after reporting the police, the call could not be reached. Anxiously, she went to the location that her husband said.

  The person in the car with stagnant water and waist deep has been unconscious

  At 7:44 that night, Liang Wenzhou, deputy squadron of the Interpol Squadron of the Dali Police Station, who was patrolling near Dali Lishui Road in the South China Sea, received a police report from the walkie-talkie and found that he was located only about 1 kilometer from the location of the incident. So immediately led the team to drove to the scene.

  Upon arrival, Liang Wenzhou found that a large amount of water had accumulated in the tunnel underneath. A white van was surrounded by water more than 20 meters from the exit.

Seeing this, he immediately led the team to get out of the car and ran to the trapped vehicle in the tunnel.

After arriving near the vehicle, Liang Wenzhou and the firefighters who arrived earlier crossed the fence beside the tunnel, jumped into waist-deep water, and quickly approached the trapped vehicle.

  After reaching the side of the car, Liang Wenzhou found that Mr. Deng in the driver's seat had been unconscious, his body was slumped, and his head had been submerged by the standing water in the car.

The rescuers yanked the car door. At this time, the water pressure inside and outside the car was basically the same because the car had been immersed in stagnant water. Liang Wenzhou quickly opened the door.

  Liang Wenzhou hurriedly stepped forward to support the man, but found that the other party seemed to have no breathing, and he must be quickly moved to a safe area for first aid.

As a result, Liang Wenzhou and the firefighters dragged the driver out of the car, and together with the teammates who rushed there, the three waded towards the tunnel with a comatose man.

In just a few minutes, the unconscious man was rescued from the tunnel with water.

  Kneeling first aid man turned danger to safety

  After laying down Mr. Deng on a dry ground, Liang Wenzhou immediately tore off the clothes near his neckline, and asked the auxiliary police to raise Mr. Deng’s head and open his airway. He kneeled down on Mr. Deng’s chest. External compression and artificial respiration.

Sweat and rain drenched the police uniform on his body. Liang Wenzhou didn't stop his arms from sore to numb. He knew he was fighting for time with the "Death of Death".

After more than two minutes of high-intensity pressing, Liang Wenzhou saw that Mr. Deng’s mouth and nose began to spray water, and the person gradually resumed breathing.

He breathed a sigh of relief as he continued to be highly nervous, and he was so tired that he sat on the ground.

  Later, Ms. Lan and 120 first-aid personnel arrived at the scene one after another, and Liang Wenzhou assisted in sending the man to the ambulance.

Later, Liang Wenzhou said that although he had learned relevant first aid skills in police training before, it was the first time that he had actually rescued people.

"The situation was urgent at the time, and I only wanted to save people. I couldn't let a life pass by in my hands."

  In fact, this is not the first time Liang Wenzhou has saved people.

In May 2014, he also rescued a woman who had committed suicide ashore.
