After that, the three of them worked together to fight the fire and rescue.
"I was in the lane opposite the man on fire, and in order to save people in the first place, I also ran a red light when I turned the car around. After several tosses, the reporter contacted Zhang Quanjia, the firefighting man. According to reports, the 32-year-old is from Jiange County, Guangyuan City, and is an online car-hailing driver. Yesterday morning, he picked up a passenger at the Zhaohua 4S store to go to the Shangxi Railway Station, and when he passed a bridge in the North Second Ring Road, he found thick smoke billowing from the opposite lane and a middle-aged man was on fire.
"Let's go and save people together, okay?" Zhang Quanjia said that after obtaining the passenger's consent, he made a U-turn not far ahead, and the intersection happened to be a red light at that time, but it was important to save people, and after confirming safety, he did not hesitate to turn left and change lanes.
After arriving at the scene, Zhang Quanjia found that the man's upper clothes were on fire at the time, and he was moaning in pain on the ground. He quickly took off his clothes to put out the fire, and the passengers and passing drivers also participated in the rescue. With the joint efforts of everyone, 10 minutes later, the fire on the man who caught fire was brought under control.
After that, 120 also rushed to the scene. After on-site emergency treatment by medical staff, the owner of the battery car was taken to the hospital for further treatment.
