Changhua man went missing while working, his motorcycle parked at the beach, land, sea and air forces expanded search and rescue

A man from Xianxixiang, Changhua County, went to work in Lukang Town as usual this morning (7th), but his company called his family to inform him that "he had not arrived at work." The family members hurriedly searched for him. The man's motorcycle was found parked on the embankment west of the Xianxixiang fishing platform, and no one was seen. The firefighting and maritime patrol units were informed of the three-dimensional land, sea and air search and rescue. In the afternoon, they took advantage of the dry tide to locate the oyster shelf, sandbar and other areas and conduct full-scale searches.

The First Brigade of the Changhua County Fire Department received a notification from the Coast Guard at around 8 a.m. that a motorcycle was left behind on the west line of the fishing platform. The fire department immediately dispatched 6 fire trucks, 1 ambulance, 1 drone, 2 boats and 11 firefighters to the scene. The search and rescue was directed by Huang Housen, the leader of the Line West detachment.

Search and rescue personnel launched a search from where the locomotive was left. "Visual inspections by shore personnel" and "aerial scanning by drones" went hand in hand. The Changhua County Rescue Association also urgently mobilized 2 vehicles, 3 boats, 1 drone and 13 rescue personnel to assist.

At 3:43 pm, it was dry tide. The search and rescue team centered on the falling water point and extended the search for about 1 kilometer south (downstream) and west (outer sea). The search and rescue team strengthened drone aerial photography search and rescue in hot spots such as oyster shelves and sandbanks. Underwater and shore patrol personnel went down the embankment to conduct a carpet search. The search and rescue is continuing.
