In Thailand, police and relevant agencies launched an emergency transfer after a man weighing about 300 kg suffered breathing difficulties. Because he was difficult to fit into a regular ambulance, a special vehicle transporter was also mobilized. Escorted by police, the vehicle carrying him cut through rush-hour traffic and covered a route that normally takes 25 minutes in just 5 minutes.

According to Yonhap News Agency and other sources, at around 8:30 a.m. local time on October 20, local police were dispatched to the Udom Suk area of Bangkok after a male patient weighing about 300 kg developed severe breathing difficulties.

Because of the patient's size, it was difficult to transport him in a regular ambulance. Relevant agencies urgently deployed a "self-loader," a special vehicle used to load and transport vehicles.

Traffic was congested with rush-hour commuters at the time. Police led the transport vehicle on motorcycles, clearing a path and controlling traffic signals at intersections.

With police assistance, the transport vehicle covered a route that normally takes about 25 minutes in just 5 minutes and arrived safely at the hospital.

The patient arrived at the hospital without delay, and medical staff began treatment immediately. The patient's specific diagnosis and subsequent condition were reportedly not disclosed.
