After the incident, we immediately assisted with the response and cooperated with the traffic police investigation. After reviewing the complete video of the incident provided by our company, the traffic police determined that it was an accident and not a traffic accident." "We assisted the passenger in seeking timely medical treatment. After examination, the passenger was found to be unharmed and has now returned home to rest.
