Chenzhou, China - March 10, 2025 A dramatic rescue unfolded in Chenzhou, Hunan, when a concrete mixer truck veered off the road and crashed into a river, trapping the driver inside. The vehicle flipped over, leaving the cab badly mangled and the driver’s legs pinned, unable to escape. Emergency services sprang into action after Chenzhou Fire received the call, rushing to the scene with no time to spare. Firefighters waded through the water, reaching the truck where it lay with its front end dangling precariously over the riverbank. They squeezed through a tight gap near the stones, inching their way to the driver’s side. Armed with tools, they smashed through the door and propped up a rescue space. After nearly 40 minutes of grueling effort, the trapped driver was finally freed and pulled to safety. The heroic team, dubbed "Firefighter Blue Friends," earned praise for their bravery and quick thinking in the face of danger.
