Preface
On April 26, a Wenjie M7 was involved in a car accident in Yuncheng, Shanxi, and when the collision occurred, the vehicle instantly ignited a blazing flame, and when the accident investigation was clear, the cause was very angry.
(Information source: Lu Chenzhongbao 2024.4.29 on "Wenjie M7 rear-end collision maintenance vehicle caused 3 deaths, multi-party response")
This is due to the fact that the M7, in the middle of the highway, crashed straight into the sprinkler truck in front, according to the family, the sprinkler not only did not set up warning signs and protective fences, but also drove slowly on the highway.
At this time, many netizens said that when they used to drive on the highway, they also encountered this situation, and they were particularly angry at the time, and they didn't understand why this kind of vehicle appeared on the highway slowly.
Happy family, died in a car accident
On April 26, my younger brother drove the M7 that he bought three months ago, and took Ms. Ma, her husband and son, and a family of four to ride on the highway happily in this new car.
However, they didn't expect that on the highway, they had a very serious car accident, which directly led to the death of 3 people in the car.
On the highway, they collided with the "highway maintenance vehicle", which is a vehicle that often appears on the highway, because the highway needs to be maintained frequently, and this kind of vehicle is generally very slow.
I believe that friends who often drive on the highway know that if there is a vehicle in front of us, suddenly reducing the speed suddenly, or stopping directly, it is difficult for us to see behind.
Even if you see it when you are approaching, it is difficult to make an effective response in time, which can easily lead to a car accident.
Therefore, the mainland's punishment for stopping, reversing, and making a U-turn on the highway is particularly severe, which is enough to prove the dangerous degree of such behavior.
The driver of the M7 had no time to react when he approached the "highway maintenance vehicle", and finally crashed into the sprinkler truck at a speed of 115 kilometers per hour, and the vehicle burst into flames at the moment of the collision.
The violent impact also led to the death of three people, and only the wife of the group survived, but she was also seriously injured.
Car companies and their families, who is lying?
After the incident, the surviving wife, Ms. Ma, said that they did not drive illegally at that time, and the reason why the accident occurred was because the "highway maintenance vehicle" in front of them did not place warning signs.
The vehicle is traveling at a speed of 115 km/h, and if there is a car in front of it that is driving very slowly, it will not be visible from the back at all, and when it hits, the M7 does not effectively pop out the airbag.
In addition, the car door could not be opened after the accident, which also led to the fact that the group did not receive immediate medical treatment after the accident.
This also leads to the fact that when firefighters arrive at the scene, the first thing they think about is not to send the person to the hospital, but how to get the person out of the car.
This adds great difficulty to the rescue, first of all, it is necessary to break the window first, and it is also easy to cause secondary injury to the injured.
The answer of the M7 car company is diametrically opposed to Ms. Ma's answer, the car company said that the data shows that the airbag is open, and the characteristics of the power battery pack are not abnormal.

As for the vehicle door locked after the collision, the car company responded that there was no automatic unlocking function, which made many netizens wonder if the hidden door handle design is really reasonable?
Are hidden doorknobs really reasonable?
As we all know, the door locks automatically the moment the car starts to drive, and the hidden door handle is particularly beautiful compared to the pull-out door handle.
This kind of door handle, must be unlocked before it can pop out of the door, at that time, the outside can be opened, on the contrary, if the door is not unlocked, the door handle is equivalent to the door is dead.
At that time, when the family had a car accident, the car door had been locked, the outside door handle could not pop out, and the people rescued outside could not pull it, how could they open the car door for rescue.
The family couldn't get out of the car, and the emergency personnel had to smash the windows, which also caused the family to miss the best time to rescue, and by the time the rescue came out, two of them had already been scorched.
Now, hidden door handles have almost become the standard configuration of new energy vehicles, and many car accidents have led to serious disasters because of such door handles.
In 2019, a man in Florida, USA, driving a Tesla Model S, unfortunately crashed into a tree on the side of the road.
The violent impact caused a raging fire on the spot with the battery pack, and at this time, the rescuers outside had no way to open the car door, and after a while, the fire engulfed the car, which also caused the man to be burned beyond recognition and died on the spot.
(Information source: Global Network 2019.2.28 report on "A beautiful man driving a Tesla was in a car accident and repeatedly caught fire and burned a day later")
Here, many netizens call on domestic car companies not to blindly follow the trend, the hidden door handle is good-looking, but it is really not practical, blindly pursuing beauty, thus losing safety, who dares to buy such a car?
Don't let the hidden door handle become a "roadblock" for rescuers, although the staff in the sprinkler truck quickly got out of the car to rescue when the collision occurred, but the hidden door handle also became his "roadblock".
Who bears this responsibility
The accident has happened, people can't be resurrected after death, and the most important thing now is this result, who should bear it?
When we run at high speeds, we often see "road maintenance vehicles", which are usually lit up with bright lights or hung with very obvious warning objects.
This is used to warn the people behind to pay attention to avoidance, and there are clear regulations on the speed of the vehicle, if the speed of the "road maintenance vehicle" at the time of the incident is between 20 and 40 kilometers per hour, it is in accordance with the regulations.
(Information source: Jimu News 2024.4.28 on "Asking about the high-speed rear-end collision caused many casualties, should the sprinkler be responsible? Lawyer: Maintenance vehicles should drive at the specified speed of the high-speed lane")
Although the certificate of responsibility for the accident has not yet been issued, the sprinkler truck will inevitably have to bear humanitarian compensation, after all, the car accident has caused three deaths.
The driving is not standardized, and the relatives are in tears
For the occurrence of this accident, we are reluctant to see, on the surface we see the safety of the vehicle, but driving safety, mainly depends on the driver.
If the driver of the M7 had driven the car a little slower, perhaps this accident would not have happened, and this car accident would have been a bloody lesson for us.
Accidents happen by accident, either illegal driving or luck, we can't joke with life.
