"At the critical moment,
thank you to the people's
police for saving us!"
“关键时刻，感谢人民警察出手相救”
At 14:00 on July 20th, the fourth brigade of the traffic police division of Zhengzhou's Municipal Public Security Bureau was tasked by the 110 command center to rescue some trapped civilians under the viaduct of the East Third Ring Road and the South Third Ring Road. A tourist bus from Shangqiu was stuck in the green belt due to the deep water in the intersection.
7月20日14时，郑州市公安局交警支队四大队接110指挥中心派警，东三环与南三环高架桥下，一辆来自商丘的旅游大巴车，因路口积水过深，视线不好，左前车轮陷入了绿化带，无法行驶。
After arriving on the scene, the police found that the water was up to their waist and that the water level was still rising. There were more than 30 passengers on the stalled bus, including a dozen children, the youngest of whom was an eight-month-old baby. The police immediately formulated a rescue plan and flagged down a passing loader. Standing in the water, they helped the passengers into the bucket one by one, and then the loader carried them to where the road was clear of water. After more than an hour, the trapped people were all successfully rescued. They shouted their thanks excitedly: "At the critical moment, thank you to the people's police for saving us!"
民警到达现场后发现，积水已经没过人的腰部，熄火的大巴车上共有30余名乘客，其中包括十几名儿童，最小的婴儿才8个月大，而水位还在不断上涨。民警立即制定救援计划，将路过的工程铲车拦停，随后站在水中将车内人员一一送至铲车的推土铲内，再由铲车开至没有积水的路面上。经过一个多小时的营救，救援任务顺利完成。被困群众激动地连声道谢：“关键时刻，感谢人民警察出手相救！”
