A near-fatal crash Kaohsiung turned into a remarkable rescue late last night. A collision between a car and a motorcycle left a 19-year-old motorcyclist with no vital signs. Authorities say the driver may have made a right turn in violation of the traffic signal, which sent the oncoming motorcyclist crashing onto the roof of the vehicle. As bystanders looked on, a local traditional Chinese medicine practitioner and a friend who were dining nearby rushed out of the restaurant to perform CPR on the young man. Moments the rider regained a heartbeat before emergency crews arrived and rushed him to the hospital.

A motorbike rammed against a black car turning right, sending the rider flying onto the roof of the vehicle before falling to the ground. The loud crash drew people over.

- He doesn’t have a pulse!
- Call an ambulance! Quick!
- Call an ambulance!
- I called already!

The rider had no heartbeat, so a man in blue and another in black immediately began CPR.

- Wake up boy!
- I need tissues!
- You can do it! Wake up!

The two men took turns to perform CPR, trying to bring the young man back to life.

- Relax, relax!
- Wake up, come on!

After 2 minutes, the rider’s legs finally began to move.

- He woke up! He’s awake!

Firefighters and paramedics took over as soon as they arrived and saved the man’s life. It turns out the man in blue is a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner.

Yu Neng-hung
TCM practitioner
We were having dinner with several groups at the restaurant at the intersection. We heard the crash, it was really loud. There was blood on his mouth and nose, so we took care of that first. We were very afraid he might choke. We tried to not move him in case he had internal injuries, but the top priority was to begin CPR and get his heart beating again.

The incident happened in Kaohsiung’s Cianjhen District. The driver of the car is 68-year-old Mr. Hung who was heading home with his wife. The biker is 19-year-old Mr. Chen, who crashed into the car as it was making a right turn. The car’s rear right tire burst, the window was damaged and the side panels got dented. The motorbike was severely damaged, with the front almost completely destroyed and the wheel rim broken.

Chen Hung-en
Police officer
We suspect that the car driver, Mr. Hung did not follow the traffic signals. We’re still investigating the responsibility of the incident, which will be determined by the traffic division.

By the time paramedics took over, the rider had regained consciousness and was able to speak. He is currently receiving treatment in the hospital.
