On the afternoon of April 15, a pregnant woman was injured by falling wall tiles in the public passage of Nanping Metro Station of Light Rail Line 3 in Nan'an District, Chongqing. On April 16, the reporter learned from the relatives of the injured pregnant woman Ms. Zhang that Ms. Zhang is still in the intensive care unit, in a coma, not completely out of danger, and the fetus in the womb is unfortunately not saved.
According to Ms. Zhang's relative, Mr. Zhu, Ms. Zhang opened a store near Nanping, and when the incident occurred, she was on her way to work in the store, but when she took the escalator at the No. 2 entrance and exit of Nanping Station of Light Rail Line 3, she was unfortunately hit by multiple falling wall tiles and collapsed on the escalator, bleeding profusely.
Mr. Zhu told reporters that Ms. Zhang was 7 months pregnant, and the expected date of delivery was in early July.
▲Ms. Zhang was sent to the Chongqing Emergency Center for rescue.
"Yesterday, the doctor had already issued two critical illness notices, and now she is still in the intensive care unit, not out of danger, and the situation is not optimistic. Mr. Zhu said that the doctor had told the family that nearly 20,000 milliliters of blood had been transfused since he entered the hospital.
According to the on-site pictures posted by many netizens, on an escalator in Nanping Metro Station, Nan'an District, Chongqing, a woman was injured by falling wall tiles and fell to the ground.
The scene of the accident has been fenced
On the 16th, a Jimu News reporter visited the scene of the incident and saw that the fallen wall tiles had not been repaired, and the two entrances above and below the elevator and escalator were fenced and cordoned, and there were security personnel guarding them. Entering from the accident passage, you can go to Nanping Station of Line 3, as well as Yonghui Supermarket and Wanda Shopping Mall. Some members of the public who passed by to discuss the accident that occurred yesterday expressed great regret.
A friend of the injured pregnant woman told the Jimu News reporter that the injured person was in very serious condition, and she was sent to the emergency department and rescued until the second half of the night, "I contacted her family at about 10 o'clock in the morning and said that she was not out of danger." There must be accountability for this matter, but the main thing now is to save people first. ”
Mr. Zhu, a relative of the injured, said that because the condition of the injured is serious, he hopes to coordinate expert resources from Beijing and Shanghai to intervene in the treatment.
It is understood that at present, Ms. Zhang's treatment expenses are paid in advance by Chongqing Rail Group.

Chongqing rail transit staff previously responded to media interviews that after the incident, they carried out emergency hemostasis treatment for the injured and sent them to the hospital, because the incident occurred in the joint site of rail transit, Wanda Plaza and Yonghui supermarket, the specific division of responsibility needs to be further investigated.
The scene of the incident
A Jimu News reporter came to the office of Wanda Plaza in Nanping, and a staff member responded that they had relevant information to prove that the place where the incident occurred was not within the management of Wanda Plaza. However, he politely declined the reporter's request to check the relevant information, "There are leaders in the district who held an on-site meeting for the three parties (subway, Wanda Plaza, and Yonghui supermarket) today. The customer service staff of Wanda Plaza said that they were not clear about the situation, and the specific investigation was subject to the official investigation.
The Jimu News reporter noticed that the wall of the incident was Yonghui Supermarket, but the staff of Yonghui Supermarket said that they were not aware of the situation and suggested that they should learn about the situation from the subway. The customer service staff of Chongqing Rail Transit Group made it clear that the area where the incident occurred did not fall under the jurisdiction of the station of the Rail Group.
The staff of the South Shore District Emergency Bureau said that they were not dealing with the matter and did not know the relevant situation. The staff of the Nanping Sub-district Office said that they were not clear about the situation and were waiting for a follow-up report. The staff of the Nan'an District Housing and Urban-Rural Development Committee said that they had reported the matter to the leadership.
A person engaged in the construction industry told Jimu News reporter that there are two types of paving methods: plaster (using mortar cement to stick the wall tiles on the wall) and steel frame (fixed with a steel frame), "Generally speaking, the ash paste may fall, but the steel frame will not fall." The construction industry source said that ten years ago, the project was basically mainly plastered, but now most of the wall tiles are paved with safer steel frames.
The brick where it fell has not been repaired
Hu Lei, a lawyer from Sichuan Dingqi Law Firm, told Jimu News that the Civil Code has clear provisions on the incident of pedestrian injury caused by such building components, that is, the principle of reversal of the burden of proof is applied for compensation, "Article 1253 of the Civil Code clearly stipulates that if a building, structure or other facility and its shelving and hanging objects fall off or fall and cause damage to others, and the owner, manager or user cannot prove that he is not at fault, he shall bear tort liability." In this case, the owner and manager of the main building to which the wall tiles are attached need to bear all the losses such as medical losses and compensation for lost work to the victims, unless they can prove that they are not at fault such as management negligence. ”
Lawyer Hu Lei analyzed that the difficulty of pursuing responsibility in the case now lies in how to determine the manager and owner of the wall tiles, which needs to be determined by obtaining design and planning drawings, etc., "If the subway party and the surrounding shopping malls continue to shirk the issue of the red line of the building, the victim can not only seek the help of the planning and other departments to obtain the record drawings, but also sue the relevant parties together when suing, and clarify the specific responsibility through judicial channels." ”
