In Tula, DPS inspectors saved time for a boy with a hand injury from a concrete mixer

On the M2 “Crimea” highway in the Tula region, traffic police officers helped the family urgently deliver a nine-year-old son with a severe hand injury to the hospital. The incident occurred on October 10, when parents turned to patrol because of the threat of losing precious time, told “MK in Tula” in the traffic police in the region.

The boy injured his arm with a rotating concrete mixer mechanism while helping his father. The condition of the fingers required immediate medical attention. However, the movement towards Tula was difficult, and in places traffic jams formed. Parents understood that they would not have time to quickly take the child to the doctors.

DPS inspectors decided to escort the car. Turning on flashing beacons and an audible signal, they provided the car with the victim an unhindered passage to the Tula Regional Children's Clinical Hospital. The boy was given the necessary help in a timely manner, which gave him a chance to restore his hand.

Parents thanked the police for their promptness and support. In the traffic police of the Tula region reminded that in an emergency situation on the road, you can ask for help from traffic police.

We will remind, earlier “MK in Tula” wrote how employees of the traffic police helped to deliver a woman in labor to the perinatal center through a traffic jam. A man named Sergey was driving his wife to the hospital in a private car, but in the Proletarian district, the couple got stuck. The commander of the special platoon of the regional department of the State Traffic Inspectorate Alexei Blokhnin, who helped drivers bypass the broken car, organized assistance to the family. Arriving inspectors Alexander Komissarov and Dmitry Barakovsky transplanted the woman into a patrol car and took her to the hospital with special signals on.
