A bus driver in Kherson delivered wounded passengers to a hospital despite suffering a concussion after Russian forces attacked a bus with a drone on Aug. 19, killing four people and wounding five, including the driver himself, according to public broadcaster Suspilne Kherson.
On August 19, a bus driver in Kherson, Oleh Korniyenko, delivered wounded passengers to a hospital despite sustaining a concussion after Russian forces attacked his bus with a drone. The attack resulted in the death of four people and injuries to five, including the driver. Korniyenko noticed the drone approaching during his third run on the route, but arrived too late.
Upon hearing an explosion, he found people lying on the floor of the cabin, crying and screaming. Despite their pleas to open the doors, Korniyenko insisted that time was of the essence and drove all the wounded passengers to the hospital for immediate medical attention. The municipal enterprise Khersonkomuntransservis praised Korniyenko's actions, noting that he sustained a concussion himself.
The driver was taken to the hospital, where his blood pressure was high and he received treatment for his injuries. Emergency medical personnel treated the four female passengers, aged 63, 71, and 89, who were killed or injured in the attack.
