Yesterday (29th) at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, a serious car accident occurred in Lam Tin. An elderly woman was suspected of being hit and run over by an approaching garbage truck while crossing Kai Tin Road off Kai Tin Shopping Centre. The foot was severely shattered and he was in a coma with heavy bleeding.

Some passers-by immediately reported the case and stepped forward to give first aid to the injured until the ambulance arrived at the scene to take over.

The ambulancemen sent the injured to the hospital. After several hours of surgery, the left foot must be removed to save his life. The current situation is critical.

Police said the injured woman's surname Zhou, 88 years old, suffered head and foot injuries.

The police arrested a 63-year-old male driver named Liu on suspicion of "dangerous driving causing serious bodily harm to others."

Some citizens took pictures of the situation after the incident and put it online.

According to online footage, the old woman's left leg was severely injured, and there was a lot of blood on the road.

Many citizens stepped forward to comfort the injured, and some also offered first aid to the injured.

It is reported that one of the citizens assisting is a female nurse student. In the film, she can be seen making a call next to the injured person, believed to be reporting the case for help.

The female nurse student named Vieny was a former flight attendant of an airline in Hong Kong. A few years ago, when she was interviewed by internet media, she smiled and burst into the camera when she said "It's so cheap" and she became well-known to netizens.

It is known that some netizens recognized her in the clip, so she responded to the incident on social media last night.

Vieny is now a nurse student.

Vieny posted last night: "Your support should be rescued by emergency medical staff."

In her post, she recalled the situation at the time: "After I made the call, the nurse at the scene had already helped to tighten the arteries of the big thigh. At that moment, the mother-in-law was conscious and went to the ambulance...the water was flowing. I just told you that you can suffocate your neck and your mother can be depressed. When you see that she is still awake, she will always maintain the recovery position (press: restoring the horizontal position, an emergency method), and monitor her breathing and pulse all the way, just in case she is not awake. Prepare for immediate CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation).” She said, “The accident is really serious. I am not savvy and have no experience...I think I have done something within my abilities.”

After reading the online clips and Vieny’s posts, some frontline ambulancemen believed that Vieny and other passers-by had handled it properly at the time.

He bluntly said that the most important thing is to report the case to an ambulance first, because even medical staff, but without sufficient tools and drugs on hand, cannot provide the best treatment for the injured.

The mother-in-law's calf was severely injured at the time. He estimated that he had shed 1,000cc of blood. If the bleeding is not stopped, his life will be in danger. Therefore, the nurse mentioned in the post is suitable for the mother-in-law to tighten the thigh artery.

He pointed out that after the paramedics arrived, they would use tourniquets and coagulants and other tools and drugs to stop the bleeding.

Ordinary citizens who unfortunately encounter this situation will certainly not have a tourniquet. They can use a clean tissue to directly press the bleeding point or use indirect pressure to press the inguinal artery on the thigh with their hands to help reduce bleeding.

In addition, elderly women are at risk of stopping their heartbeats at any time, so Vieny's monitoring of heartbeat and breathing rate is also a suitable performance.

He also believes that the nurse students do not have much practical experience, and it is quite rare to be able to calmly handle and comfort the injured in the accident scene.
