Chinese firefighters rescue people from cars that were trapped on snow-covered road due to powerful blizzard

Firefighters rescued six people from two SUVs that were trapped on a snow-covered road due to powerful blizzard in northern China.

Firefighters rescued six people from two SUVs that were trapped on a snow-covered road due to powerful blizzard in northern China.

The video, filmed in the city of Hulunbuir in Inner Mongolia on April 20, shows firemen using shovels to clear the snow around the trapped cars and then trying to push the cars forward.

Since some sections of the road were completely blocked by the snow, the rescue vehicles could not reach the place to pull the trapped cars out.

After around 20 minutes of work, the road was cleared.

The two vehicles and six people were transferred to a safe area after 40 minutes.
