“The section immediatel­y dispatched two special rescue vehicles with four rescuers onboard to the rough mountainou­s site which is not easy to reach in regular vehicles.”

The rescue team discovered the three-member family, including the father, mother, and their 17-year-old son, he added. “The trio was stuck in their damaged car, which overturned several times, and was trapped in a rough rocky area.”
