As you saw earlier, as the water level of the Imjin River rose, there were many places in the northern part of Gyeonggi. In Paju, Gyeonggi Province, buses and passengers were rescued by boats as the city buses were running, and during the night, not only residents but also some military troops evacuated to a safe place.

Female passengers struggle to escape through the bus window, which is submerged in more than half, and escape to the safety zone on the prepared 119 boat.


A report was received today (6th) that a city bus carrying 4 passengers was submerged on the road in Papyeong-myeon, Paju, Gyeonggi Province, around 6:40 in the morning.

When I tried to run through the water, the engine stopped and stopped.

[Kim Hyun-soo/First reporter: Don't come out because the window is open, because I was awkward and came out of the water. (Bus) He was on the chair. Put on a boat and put on a vest (rescued.)] This is the

scene of the accident.

The water is so full and the rain is starting to rain again, so it's hard to even approach it, rather than take the bus out of the accident.

In this accident, a bus driver, 63-year-old Kim, was transferred to the hospital after complaining of hypothermia.

--- At about the

same time, four employees were trapped and rescued in the water that was rapidly raised in the drainage area of ​​Gunnae-myeon, Paju, Gunnae-myeon.

As the water level of the Imjin River rose, the gates of the upstream rivers were blocked to prevent the water from flowing, but the rivers overflowed when heavy rains continued overnight when the water could not escape.

Gyeonggi-do said that 1,400 people in Yeoncheon-gun and Paju were urgently evacuated overnight, and the Ministry of National Defense also temporarily evacuated troops near the Imjin and Bukhan Rivers.
