At about 0:30 a.m. on April 23, the silk section of the Zhaotong Shuima section of the Yinkun Expressway suddenly became dangerous, and several rolling stones weighing tons lay horizontally in the middle of the road, occupying 3 lanes, causing traffic interruption and vehicle detention on the road section. Fortunately, there were no vehicles passing on the road when the rocks fell from the mountain, and there were no casualties or property damage.
After receiving the sudden danger reported by the monitoring room of the Liangfeng Tunnel Management Office, the police on duty of the Second Squadron of the Shuizhao Expressway Traffic Patrol Police Brigade of the Traffic Police Detachment of the Zhaotong Municipal Public Security Bureau quickly rushed to the scene for disposal, and at the same time contacted the on-duty personnel of the Tunnel Management Office to control the traffic at the scene at the top of the slope. As it was uncertain whether there would be rockfalls on the mountain, the police quickly evacuated the stranded vehicles at the scene, asked the driver to reverse as far as possible to avoid dangerous road sections, and notified the Shuima Expressway maintenance department to drag and clean up the boulders.
According to the relevant person in charge, the rockfall caused the mountain to loosen due to the sudden heavy rain, which caused the dangerous situation of the rockfall rolling down the highway.
After 4 hours of unremitting efforts by the traffic police and the custody department, the road obstacles were finally cleared at about 5 o'clock in the morning of the 23rd, and the road section where the incident occurred resumed normal traffic.
The rainy season is approaching, how to travel by car safely? The police of the Shuizhao Expressway Traffic Patrol Police Brigade made the following tips:
1. Drive cautiously and concentrate.
2. Reduce the speed of the vehicle and steer smoothly.
3. Reduce lane changes and increase the distance between vehicles.
4. Pay attention to the weather and traffic conditions before traveling, and try to avoid the sections that are prone to landslides, landslides and debris flows. When passing through the collapsed road section, be sure to reduce the speed of the vehicle and observe the situation to ensure safe passage.
5. After an accident or breakdown of a vehicle on the highway, keep in mind the nine-character epigram of "pull over, evacuate, and call the police".
