One of the most frustrating things that could happen to anyone on the road is when an accident occurs
It leaves everyone on edge - especially when a jam starts to take shape - and can result in massive chaos if things are not controlled as soon as possible.
It's also a common sight for people to get down from their cars to take photos and videos which can cause a crowd to quickly gather
The result? Drivers end up blocking the path that might prevent ambulance and emergency services from reaching the accident victims.
However, in this video showing an accident in a tunnel in South Korea, we can clearly see that whipping out a phone for a quick photo is the last thing on the Koreans' minds
Drivers moving their vehicles to the side to open up room for emergency vehicles

The drivers began to exit their vehicles to look at the crash, and at first, it looked like things were going to escalate terribly.
But as soon as they got back into their cars, things took a turn. To make way for emergency personnel, the drivers coordinated to have each of their cars properly moved to the side to open up ample room in the middle of the road for emergency vehicles to access.
