Marines Help Koreans after Traffic Accident
A good news story of U.S. soldiers in Korea. Once everyone else exited the car, the two Marines checked for injuries. They focused their attention on the woman on the side of the road.
$)C!0She was in and out of consciousness,!1 Graham said. !0I saw her eyes roll back a few times.!1
Both Frazier and Graham are combat veterans with first-aid training and both have responded to vehicle accidents in the past.
They found a blanket in the car and wrapped the woman in it to mitigate the early stages of shock, which can be fatal. Despite the language barrier, they continued talking to her to keep her coherent.
Meanwhile, a white car arrived, Graham said, and the man and woman from the gray car entered that vehicle and left the scene of the accident. Graham said he took down the white car!/s license plate number and later gave it to police. Police officers assigned to the case were unavailable for comment Wednesday and Thursday. A few wrecker trucks arrived at the scene about 40 minutes after the accident and an ambulance arrived about 20 minutes after that, Graham said. The two Marines helped the first responders load the woman who appeared most severely hurt into the ambulance.
