On May 3rd, according to the Jiaxing Fire Department, around 10 a.m. on May 1st, a traffic accident occurred at an intersection in Jiashan County, Jiaxing, Zhejiang Province, resulting in at least one person trapped in a vehicle in urgent need of rescue.
Upon receiving the alarm, the Jiashan County Fire Rescue Team quickly responded. However, the fire truck encountered severe traffic congestion while passing through Jiaxing Bridge. Unable to move forward quickly, the fire truck had to proceed slowly along with the traffic flow.
At a critical moment, a white sedan took the initiative to pull over to the right and stop, giving way to the fire truck to pass through.
Following that, a scene that was truly awe-inspiring unfolded: the vehicles ahead seemed to tacitly pull over one by one, creating a lane for the fire truck to pass through.
Whether it's a sedan, a bus, or a cement mixer, all vehicles seemed to have rehearsed in advance, neatly making way for the fire truck.
On this two-way road, a total of 136 drivers worked together to create a "third lane."
In this congested stretch of nearly 1.2 kilometers, the navigation system initially estimated a 17-minute passage time, but the fire truck managed to pass through smoothly in just 3 and a half minutes.
It is understood that fire trucks are specialized vehicles, and every second they arrive early means an extra glimmer of hope for those trapped. If you hear the sirens of a fire truck, ambulance, or similar vehicles, please observe and give way promptly. Giving way to specialized vehicles is giving way to life.
Moreover, according to the Road Traffic Safety Law and the Fire Protection Law, if one commits traffic violations such as running a red light or crossing solid lines while giving way to fire trucks and other specialized vehicles, it is not considered intentional violation and can be appealed for cancellation.
