Tribute to Traffic Officers Who Rescued a Family and Handled an Overturned Vehicle in Minutes

The Assistant Director General of the General Directorate of Traffic for Traffic Regulation Affairs, Colonel Ayoub Ghazi Fathallah, honored several traffic officers in recognition of their swift response to a vehicle rollover accident and their rescue of a family inside the vehicle, as well as their efforts to right the vehicle and clear it from the road during the morning rush hour. The ceremony acknowledged the field efforts made by the traffic officers in handling the incident promptly. The rapid arrival of patrols and their immediate actions in managing the overturned vehicle helped ensure the safety of the family members and prevented the escalation of the accident’s consequences. Furthermore, the traffic officers moved the vehicle off the roadway, which facilitated the restoration of normal traffic flow and helped limit the spread of congestion, particularly given the high traffic density at the time of the incident. This response falls within the duties of the Traffic and Operations Affairs Sector in managing accidents and emergency reports, providing assistance to road users, and contributing to enhanced traffic safety and the smooth flow of traffic. The General Directorate of Traffic reaffirmed that patrols continue to carry out their duties around the clock, responding to reports and incidents to ensure prompt handling of emergencies and the protection of lives and property.
