The official microblog of the traffic police detachment of the Public Security Bureau of Ma'anshan City, Anhui Province, reported a traffic accident on November 16: a small ordinary passenger car collided with a heavy dump truck, killing 8 people and injuring 8 people. At present, the injured are being treated and are not in danger of life. After the accident, the province, municipality and district immediately carried out on-site rescue, treatment of the injured, and disposal of the aftermath. The cause of the accident is under further investigation. According to CCTV news, the drivers of large trucks and passenger cars have been controlled by the public security organs, and the drivers of small buses are receiving treatment in hospitals.
Red Star News reporters learned from witnesses at the interview site that the intersection of the incident was a temporary traffic light, and there was no left turn light. Most of the dead and injured are passengers on small ordinary buses, and some people who get off the bus in advance have reported that small ordinary buses look to carry more than 20 people, suspected of overloading. The passengers were temporary workers working from Nanjing Lukou Logistics Park.
Witnesses: The intersection was a temporary traffic light, and there was no left turn light
Mr. Wang, a witness at the scene, told Red Star News that not long after the accident, he saw when he passed the scene, "The scene was very tragic, the side of the passenger car co-pilot was hit and deformed," Mr. Wang said, at that time, "someone should have died, and some people looked comatose due to injuries, and some people were less injured and shouted in pain." ”
Mr. Wang said that the people who witnessed the car accident at that time said in the discussion that the left-turning passenger car collided with the muck car that was going straight on the opposite side, when the muck car was very fast, it was too late to slow down, directly hit the left side of the passenger car, causing the passenger car to be seriously dented, and the muck car only had a slight deformation under the co-pilot, and the main body had no major problems.
Mr. Wang also said that because of the construction of the road section, the intersection where the accident occurred has long been placed with a temporary traffic light that is not too high, and there is no left turn light, so the left turn and the opposite straight line can pass at the same time, coupled with the poor light at night, it is easy to have an accident. He also said that shortly after the accident, he saw the traffic police, fire brigade and ambulance arrive at the scene, and the injured who were stuck were quickly pulled away by ambulances.
According to the News of the WeChat public account "Anhui Release" on November 16, at 22:00 on November 15, a major traffic accident occurred in Ma'anshan City. Zheng Zhajie, secretary of the Anhui Provincial CPC Committee, immediately issued instructions calling for all-out efforts to treat the injured, do a good job in the aftermath of the victims, find out the cause of the accident as soon as possible, and entrust the main responsible comrades of the Ma'anshan Municipal CPC Committee to visit and comfort the injured and the families of the victims, and ask provincial and municipal medical experts to do a good job in the treatment and rescue of the injured.
Red Star News called the Bowang Brigade of the Traffic Police Detachment of the Ma'anshan City Public Security Bureau, and a staff member said that the accident was still in the investigation stage, and the incident was still unclear. The Ma'anshan Emergency Management Bureau said that the staff had entered the scene overnight to carry out investigation work and was still in urgent processing. Ma'anshan Bowang District People's Hospital said that at more than 10 p.m., after a number of injured people were sent to emergency care, the hospital did basic treatment, due to the large number of people, it left the hospital that night and was sent to the major hospitals in the city.
The Red Star News reporter called the local third-class hospital Ma'anshan Central Hospital and learned that the eight injured people in the current car accident were scattered in a number of third-class hospitals - Ma'anshan City People's Hospital, Ma'anshan Central Hospital and Seventeen Ye Hospital. Subsequently, the Seventeen Ye Hospital also said on the phone that the intensive care unit of the hospital had received two injured people in the accident, and the specific situation was inconvenient to disclose.
Passengers' families: Mother-in-law got off early The minibus is suspected of carrying more than 20 people
Mr. Xia, a local citizen, said in an interview with The Red Star reporter that the small ordinary passenger car on the accident vehicle was carried by a temporary worker who left work from Nanjing Lukou Logistics Park, and his mother-in-law also took the accident vehicle, but got off the car before the accident.
The scene of the incident
Regarding the source of the accident vehicle, Mr. Xia said that the vehicle picked up and dropped off was replaced by the local bus company after replacing the new energy vehicle, and was essentially a private vehicle operated after the end of the operation contract between the driver and the bus company. After determining the specific number of temporary workers needed each day, the "leading" in the labor service company then contacted the driver and picked up the workers through verbal agreement.
Mr. Xia could not give a definitive answer to the model and size of the vehicle on the day, but he learned from his family that the number of people carried on the day's pick-up vehicle exceeded 20 people. Mr. Xia does not know how the vehicle carries so many people, but he said that in the local area, it is a "common" practice to remove the seats of the bus and put on small benches to increase the passenger capacity.
Regarding the insurance of temporary workers after the accident, Mr. Xia said that his mother-in-law will also work as a temporary worker. Such temporary workers work without a labor contract, so there is no insurance. And these works are only verbal agreements, and in the form of "shouting help" between people who know each other. The specific whether to go to work also depends on the voluntary arrival of the workers, and if the logistics park does not need too many temporary workers, it will also be notified.
The Red Star News reporter searched and found that there are many labor service companies on the Internet recruiting short-term workers in Nanjing Lukou Logistics Sorting, aged between 18 and 55, working from 9 am to 9 pm, and the daily wage is 200 yuan to 220 yuan.
