The accident happened after the fisherman had been catching fish 30 meters in the sea for 50 minutes, about 20 nautical miles from Sinh Ton (Sin Cowe) Island.

At 15:30 on August 30, he was taken to the island infirmary. The local doctors immediately provided first aid and drip-feed for the patient.

Thanks to the treatment, the troubled fisherman can now move his legs. He still needs further treatment at the island infirmary.
