Heroic police officers rescued two motorists trapped in a car stranded by raging floods in northwest China

The video was filmed in Hejing County in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region on July 19.

Hejing County Police received an urgent distress call from Zhou, who reported being trapped with another individual in their vehicle due to a sudden flash flood.

The incident occurred approximately 10 kilometres from Baluntai, where the river's rapid currents had immobilised their car.

The situation was critical. Deputy Captain Ge You and Instructor Shan Yunfei from the Hejing County Traffic Police, who also lead the Baluntai unit, immediately sprang into action. They alerted nearby patrolling officers Yang Jingyu and Mi Kaiyuan and rushed to the scene with ropes and rescue gear.

Ge You and Shan Yunfei quickly assessed the scene and devised a rescue plan. To prevent the vehicle from being swept away by the fast-moving waters, they first threw one end of a rope to the trapped individuals, instructing them to secure it to the car while the other end was tied to a tree on the riverbank.

They borrowed a safety harness from a nearby construction site, intending for Zhou and his companion, Huang, to use it to escape along the rope. However, both men were too panicked to secure the harness properly.

At this moment, two large trucks passed by. The police flagged them down and borrowed additional ropes from the truck drivers. They threw the ropes across the river, instructing Zhou and Huang to tie them around their waists.

After nearly an hour and a half of coordinated effort, the team successfully pulled both trapped individuals to safety.

Medical examinations revealed that both Zhou and Huang were unharmed.

It was later learned that Zhou, a farmer from Baluntai, had been on his way to harvest cabbages with Huang when the unexpected flood swept them off the road and trapped them in the river.

7月19日10时许，和静县公安局接到群众周某报警，称其在驾车行驶在距离巴伦台大约10公里处的河道中时，因突发山洪导致一车两人被困，请求民警救援。
情况紧急，接警后，和静县公安局交警大队副大队长兼巴伦台中队中队长葛友、指导员闪云飞一边通知正在附近巡逻的杨靖宇、米开元等人，一边带上绳索迅速赶赴现场救援。
时间就是生命，葛友、闪云飞等人结合现场实际情况，立即制定营救方案。为防止车辆被急流冲走，他们首先将绳子的一头甩给被困人员，让他们固定在车上，另一头则牢牢绑岸边的树上，然后又从附近工地借来一套安全锁扣，让周某、黄某二人套在身上沿着绳索转移出来，但是因为周某、黄某此时处于极度恐慌的状态，几经尝试都未能将安全锁扣套上。恰好此时两辆大车从附近路过，民警赶忙上前将车辆拦停，从大车司机处找来两根绳子再次甩过去，分别让他们二人绑到腰上，在大家的共同努力下，经过近一个半小时的努力，终于将被困的周某、黄某成功救出。
经送医检查，周某、黄某二人身体均无大碍。经了解，周某是巴伦台镇的种植户，当天早上，他带着工人黄某二人驾车去地里收白菜，行至国道216线1052公里处时，没想到突然而至的山洪将他们连人带车冲走，被困洪水中。
