[차병일 / 강원경찰청 고속도로순찰대 : 안전거리 미확보해서 빨리빨리 가려고 하는 모습이 보이더라고요. 주말이니까 차도 좀 많았고, 도로는 젖어 있었어요. 비도 계속 오는 상태고 되게 위험해서.]

The vehicle finally stopped.

The driver, who got off the driver’s seat, touched his neck and complained of an urgent situation.

A 3-year-old daughter who is having trouble breathing is transferred to a hospital.

The child was riding in the backseat with his mother and even had a tracheostomy tube to aid in breathing.

There were more than 10 kilometers left to the destination Hongcheon Asan Hospital, and I couldn’t delay any more.

Inspector Cha Byeong-il and Sergeant Kim Dae-sik guided the vehicle immediately.

[차병일 / 강원경찰청 고속도로순찰대 : 계속 위반 하게 둘 수는 없잖아요. 그래서 저희가 앞에 에스코트하면서 사이렌 올리고 비상 깜빡이 켜고 홍천 아산병원으로 곧바로 인도해서 간 거죠.]

The child was safely transferred to another hospital after emergency oxygen treatment.

The situation could lead to an accident on a rainy road on the highway, and it could have been impossible to get to the hospital in time.

The police officers who confirmed the emergency and evacuated them safely and quickly to the hospital said they had only done what they had to do, and said they would like to ask for help at any time.
