A video of a car Cam is circulating on the Internet, showing that on the morning of September 29, when a taxi drove off Hoi Fu Court on Hoi Wang Road, Mong Kok, a girl in school uniform suddenly ran out of the road from the pavement and the taxi was collected. It was too late to hit the girl, and the girl was knocked a few meters away and fell to the ground.
At that time, the girl's consciousness was still sober and looked up. A woman carrying a schoolbag and believed to be a maid rushed forward and hurriedly picked up the girl and returned to the pavement.
The police said they received a report from a passer-by at 7 o'clock in the morning that a 5-year-old girl was knocked down by a taxi on Haihong Road. She had bruises on her hands, forehead and legs. She was soberly sent to Kwong Wah Hospital for treatment. No one was arrested in the incident.
The maid immediately picked up the girl to provoke a discussion
An eyewitness said on the Internet that the girl was a student at the nearby Yau Ma Tei Catholic Primary School. After the accident, a school teacher went to the scene to find out about the girl. Fortunately, the girl was sent to the hospital by ambulance with only minor injuries.
Many netizens left a message out loud, saying that parents and guardians should take good care of the child to avoid accidents, and pointed out that the suspected maid’s practice of picking up the girl immediately after the accident was improper and might aggravate the girl’s injuries.
Doctor: The injured should not be moved in a safe environment
Li Jiaxing, a specialist in emergency medicine, said that when the injured encounter traumas such as traffic accidents, others should not move the injured in a safe environment and wait for ambulance personnel to arrive at the scene for treatment. The main reason is that the injured may have injured their neck in the accident. Improper movement may cause further injury to the cervical spine, which can lead to hemiplegia or even death; in addition, if the injured person has fractures in other parts, improper movement may also aggravate his injuries.
