When the 11th typhoon Hinnamno struck Busan, the reason why a police car patrolling the coastal road was swept away by the waves is known.
The National Police Agency posted a video on its official Facebook page on the 8th and said that it was broadcasting an evacuation announcement to passersby at the time.
According to a viewer tip video released by SBS on the 6th, the police car was driving on the road in front of Marine City on the coast of Haeundae-gu, Busan, in a situation where the waves were strong that day.
The police car was soon swept away by high waves and pushed to the edge of the road.
The police said, “At that time, I was backing up and broadcasting to inform the danger of the waves.” “Fortunately, the passers-by evacuated to the building, and following checking the safety of the passers-by, the police car also escaped the scene safely.”
