Li Nan followed the navigation all the way to drive. His wife saw that the road was getting narrower and narrower, so she reminded her husband from time to time, but Li Nan wanted to "go and see." Finally, the car got stuck on the hillside of the agricultural road and couldn't move, so he hurried to the police for help. .

Police officers Jian Lianxin, Xie and Mu received the report and asked Li Nan to find and provide the number of the nearest electric pole before driving to help. On the way, they were worried that the farm road was too narrow and the police cars would also be "stuck". Finally, they walked for 5 minutes in the mountainous area. It took several kilometers to find Li Nan.

Considering that the car was trapped and there was no room to turn around, Li Nan tried to move the car and nearly fell into the valley. Fortunately, there was a betel nut tree blocking it, and then he called on the nearby villagers to move the vehicle. About 6 or 7 police officers worked together to lift and push the car. The car turned around slowly, and finally let the car go down the mountain. Before leaving, Li Nan took out his purse and wanted to send cash as a thank you, but the villagers politely refused.

The police reminded that Xinyi Township is about to enter the plum blossom season. The roads in some plum areas are narrow. Tourists should drive carefully. Generally, the journey takes about half an hour from the main road, Provincial Highway 21, to the plum area. If it takes too long, you should turn around and start again. Go back to the provincial road, avoid using navigation shortcuts in mountainous areas, and take unfamiliar roads to avoid the embarrassment of being stuck on the industrial road.

The Taichung man and his wife drove to Xinyi Township for fun, but halfway they navigated a shortcut in the mountainous area and strayed into the agricultural road, and finally got stuck on the mountainside and couldn't move.
