His vehicle's wheel was stuck in a ditch.
I've been trying to get further informaation on this....I understand now since this happened, a new rule of engagement has been issued that the JSA is to fire at the NK soldiers trying to kill any defectors crossing the border.
VERY brave man to pull this off...The guy is the epitome of the statement..."Live free or die" ...he literally escaped James Bond Golden.Eye style through a hail of gunfire with guys shooting at him literally yards behind him in his final sprint.
Path of the NK defector on Nov 13, 2017...
