When tourists and passersby saw policemen's faces and hands becoming swollen due to the cold, they too began helping them in clearing the snow.
Four hours later, the tourists and the buried vehicle were rescued.
Altar prefecture has seen the heaviest snow fall in a decade, lasting 15 days and leaving some mountain areas covered in two-meter-high snow.
