On July 14, a passenger identified as He Shimin, a blogger, was traveling from Guangzhou to Shunde in Guangdong province via a ride-hailing service. During the trip, the driver, identified only by his surname Wang, began experiencing acute stomach pain. According to reports, Wang became visibly distressed and spoke in a weak voice, initially requesting that the passenger take over the wheel simply to exit the highway.

Upon taking control of the vehicle, He Shimin decided to bypass the exit and instead drove the car directly to the nearest hospital. This action allowed the driver to receive immediate medical attention. The incident highlights a rare instance of a passenger intervening in a professional transport setting to assist a driver in distress. While the report confirms the driver’s medical crisis and the passenger's subsequent actions, it does not provide specific details regarding the driver's long-term medical diagnosis or the specific nature of the stomach pain that necessitated the emergency intervention.
