Ulaanbaatar bus driver saves a motorist who suffered a stroke

D. Erdenetuya, who drives bus number 15-067 on Ulaanbaatar's Ch:81 route, helped save the life of a motorist who had suffered a stroke, Dobu.mn, Arslan.mn and iSee.mn reported.

At around 20:49 on October 29, in the 3rd and 4th microdistricts of Bayangol district, a small car behind her bus scraped it and kept driving. Erdenetuya noticed, stopped the bus and checked on the driver, who was unconscious and showed signs of a stroke. She called an ambulance and the man was handed over to medical staff.

Speaking to Zarig.mn, Erdenetuya said she was surprised when the car scraped past, got out and saw that the driver did not seem aware of what he was doing, so she called an ambulance at once and moved the car away from the main road. "I don't want to become famous. I just want to do my job with all my heart," she said.

With a stroke, the sooner medical help arrives, the less damage it causes. Doctors advise calling 103 immediately if someone's face droops on one side, an arm or leg goes weak, or their speech becomes slurred.

Members of the public and users on X praised her quick action.
