A truck was stranded on a deserted road in the vast desert of Saudi Arabia for two days, after which the rescue team rescued the driver from certain death upon receiving a signal.
According to Arab News, Junaid Mohi-ud-Din, a truck driver, was on his way to the Red Sea coastal city from the capital Riyadh when his truck sank in the sand in an uneven area after heading towards a desert road.
According to the driver, the truck loaded with four tons of different food was about 50 km away from the road when he lost his way and encountered this difficulty. No other vehicle was seen near them at that time.In order to reduce the long distance, truck drivers sometimes try to cross the desert route in a way that saves time.
Alone and unable to call for help in this desert, Mohi-ud-Din's condition soon began to deteriorate and he became disillusioned.
The driver said that he took refuge in his car to escape the scorching sun and the fear of the desert and wild animals at night in the desert area.
Mohi-ud-Din added that in the midst of this complete silence, I was feeling lonely and scared. During this time I also heard the terrible sounds of desert wolves from afar.
Mohi-ud-Din spent two days alone in the desert, but then, fortunately, he suddenly saw a man who offered him food.Travelers who travel this route over long distances are seldom seen crossing such a deserted area.
Mohi-ud-Din was suggested by his foreign leader that the best way to get out of this predicament was to go to a nearby high hill and try to get the signal of his mobile.
An unidentified traveler offered food and water to Mohi-ud-Din, which saved his life.
Mohi-ud-Din, a diabetic, covered a distance of 2 km on foot after receiving some food and water.
Later, a proposal to contact the Saudi Civil Defense via mobile signal on the passenger hill was successful and the rescue team contacted a nearby lightning rescue.
It should be noted that Barq Rescue is a group dedicated to rescuing people lost in the desertA video of the rescue, made by Mohi-ud-Din himself, shows Barq group vehicles approaching and the truck driver repeating words of joy.
In this video, Mohi-ud-Din is seen emotionally welcoming his rescuers who greeted him and then hugged him.
The video garnered widespread attention on social media in the country after it was posted on Barak Rescue's Twitter account.
One person commented on the tweet, saying, "I have noticed that it is normal for Saudis to help someone in need."
