Over the phone, Mr. Liu looked back and said.
Listening to Mr. Liu say this, it wasn’t because of a subconscious urge to avoid the SUV that led to the accident, but to prevent that SUV from charging onto the road and into the bustling roadside crowd, he intentionally steered in its direction to block it!
"Oh my God, Mr. Liu, you are indeed a hero!" Ding Yue said excitedly, "So, if you hadn’t blocked it, the car would have crashed into the crowd, right?"
"It would definitely have crashed in. The other side probably had a drunk driver. There were so many people on the that busy street, I didn’t dare think about the consequences!" Mr. Liu answered.
At this moment, Ding Yue was extremely moved.
This is definitely an act of heroism, Ding Yue even felt it was a bit heroic.
"Okay, Mr. Liu, rest and recover well. The school will work with the traffic authorities to get clear about the situation. We are really moved by your act of public spiritedness!"
Ding Yue said to Mr. Liu excitedly.
"Oh, it’s really nothing." Mr. Liu said humbly.
After the call ended.
Ding Yue immediately asked the school staff to check with the traffic authorities about the situation.
The traffic authorities responded that the SUV’s driver was drunk, and he wasn’t even seriously injured. He has been taken into custody.
They also managed to acquire the surveillance video from that time.
After returning to the Haicheng Hotel, Ding Yue finally got in touch with the person in charge of Mist City Traffic Department.
"Captain Zhao, I am Ding Yue, the principal of Mist City Arts and Science University. The injured bus driver, Liu Yuanming, is a member of our staff."
After getting in touch with Captain Liu from the traffic authorities, Ding Yue introduced himself.
"Hello, Principal Ding. Based on our preliminary investigations, the Audi SUV driven by a man surnamed Chen was involved in drunk driving. We have watched the surveillance video and talked to Mr. Liu. We can more or less conclude that Mr. Liu’s actions were a heroic intervention. To tell you the truth, watching the video gave me quite a fright. Mr. Liu stopped that SUV, saving many people. I’ll have someone send you the surveillance video to look at."
Captain Liu also said excitedly.
Soon, Ding Yue received the surveillance footage sent by Captain Liu of the Mist City Traffic Department.
On the sofa in the hotel living room, Huang Youjie, Xu Bin, Wen Ruohan, and Ding Xiaoyou, his little sister, were eager to watch the surveillance footage.
Ding Yue lifted up the laptop and opened the video sent by Captain Liu.
The video showed Mr. Liu driving the school bus back to Mist City Arts and Science University on Jianbei Road, where the accident had occurred.
It was clearly visible in the video that on the busy side of Jianbei Road where Mr. Liu was driving, there was a bustling food street filled with pedestrians. Just as Mr. Liu was passing by the crowded area, an Audi SUV came charging from the opposite lane at high speed.
It looked like it would collide head-on with Mr. Liu’s school bus.
At this point, if Mr. Liu chose to steer to the left, he would certainly crash into the incoming 555 bus.
But in the next two or three seconds, the situation changed again.
After the SUV entered Mr. Liu’s lane, it didn’t move straight ahead, but continued charging toward the side of the street.
According to this trend, without a doubt, the SUV would crash straight into the bustling food street that Mr. Liu had just passed.
There were so many people there that if the car crashed into them, the consequences were unthinkable!
At this critical juncture, you can see that even though Mr. Liu wouldn’t have had an accident, he still chose to steer to the left, hunking his horn wildly down the empty street, before blocking the side of the road with the school bus.
The very next second.
The SUV collided with Mr. Liu’s school bus, completely flipping the bus over before it could even come to a stop.
"Damn, if that SUV had charged straight into the crowd, it would have been murder!"
Xu Bin’s eyes doubled in size after the video.
"Captain Liu from the traffic authorities said that this person was drunk driving and probably lost control. He couldn’t even stop."
Ding Yue said helplessly.
"Clearly. Thank God Mr. Liu blocked it with the bus, if it had charged in just now..." Huang Youjie said thankfully.
"Principal Ding, Mr. Liu must have decided to block that car. That’s pretty amazing. If he hadn’t blocked it, the consequences could have been disastrous for all those people on the street."
Secretary Wen Ruohan analysed.
"Mr. Liu is so great!" Ding Xiaoyou couldn’t help but admire Mr. Liu’s courage.
Not everyone could make a quick decision under these kind of critical circumstances, to block a crazy Audi SUV.
Mr. Liu’s action saved countless lives!
"I have to give my kudos to Mr. Liu, I admire him for making such a decision under that kind of circumstances."
Ding Yue nodded and said.
Wen Ruohan’s phone rang again, she quickly got up and walked to the balcony to answer the call.
"Secretary Wen, the school arranged a single patient room for Mr. Liu at the hospital, but right now, many media outlets want to interview Mr. Liu. We feel that it might disturb Mr. Liu’s recovery, so we wanted to ask Principal Ding whether we should allow the media into the ward to interview Mr. Liu?"
