Life is impermanent, and the world is unpredictable!
I never know when the accident will come, who would have thought that only 2 hours after the May Day holiday, such a serious traffic accident occurred on a certain section of the Meida Expressway.
In addition to grief, who will pay for this accident?
Behind the deaths of 24 people, how many families were torn apart.
Overview of the event
May 1 at 2:10 a.m
Although it has entered the middle of the night, because the May Day holiday is free of charge, the traffic flow in the direction of Meizhou and Fujian has gradually increased.
Some people are taking advantage of the holiday to go home for reunion, and some people are planning to go out to play in advance, and it is in this context that the accident is coming quietly.
A netizen was looking for someone on the Internet at 8 o'clock in the morning:
- There are a total of 5 people in the car, and now none of them can be contacted by phone, and the family is very worried, hoping that the riders who see this license plate number can contact them.
The May Day holiday has just begun, and I saw such a missing person post early in the morning, to be honest, although it is not my family, I am in a nervous mood, and I hope that "they are safe" in the comment area.
The time came to 11 o'clock in the morning, and the rescue at the scene was basically over.
The high-speed accident caused a total of 20 vehicles to fall unexpectedly, the accident involved 54 people, except for 24 deaths, the remaining 30 people are being treated in the hospital, and none of them are currently in life-threatening condition.
It is worth mentioning that there were no large vehicles in this accident, such as buses, otherwise the casualties could have increased further.
A friend posted:
- His friend drove through there and had an accident, and another friend who was traveling with him, because of a delay in going to the toilet, drove behind him, but avoided the accident, which is really unpredictable!
After the accident, the Meizhou Highway Traffic Police quickly closed the two-way road and diverted traffic on both sides.
Good people are rewarded
In the video taken by netizens, after a series of vehicles fell into the collapse, a huge fire immediately formed below, and explosions were made from time to time......
It is precisely this kind of fire and explosion sound that allows the vehicles behind to find out "wrong" at the first time.
At that time, after the driver stopped, he saw the tragic scene in front of him, and called the police for the first time, and then thought that this was a high-speed section, time was life, and the car from behind must be stopped immediately.
So he ran desperately for more than 100 meters in the opposite direction, waving his hands and shouting to stop, and it was this good man's obstruction that allowed the car behind to stop and turn around in time.
Otherwise, it is not known how serious the consequences will be, and it is the generosity of these drivers that has prevented a greater tragedy.
If you want to evaluate good people and good deeds, this kind person deserves to be awarded, and he deserves such a commendation.
Witnesses voiced
Another witness said that they were so lucky that if their husband hadn't found out in advance, their car would probably have fallen.
- At that time, they were sleeping in the back, and the husband was driving, and suddenly the tire burst, and they woke up all of a sudden, and when they got out of the car, they found that the road surface they had just driven was cracked, but fortunately, they passed the edge of the crack there in the first time, but the entire wheel hub was scrapped.
Later, her husband recalled that at first he thought there was a puddle in front of him, and subconsciously hit a steering wheel, but if he hadn't found it at the first time, the vehicle drove straight over, and he didn't know what would have happened......
And then, that small crack turned into a big collapse, and the cars behind it suffered one after another.
Looking at the accident site, there are many cars, which have been seriously burned, and the scene is unbearable, some people question, why such a tragedy occurs at high speed?
Some netizens also questioned who contracted the project in the first place, and whether there were any corners, and it should be strictly investigated!
Some people go home, and some people just go out, but they don't expect it to become the road to their lives, and the price of this is the grief of the family's life.
Three things are proven
First things first: there are still many good people in the world.
If there were no drivers of the cars in front, they would have run back more than 100 meters as soon as possible, blocking the cars behind them from moving forward, and perhaps the death toll would have continued to rise!
The second thing: everyone travels on holidays, try to go out during the day, because there are no street lights at night on the highway.
If this collapse happened during the day, many vehicles could have noticed the problem at the first time, for example, the previous car, they also found the crack when they arrived, and if it was placed in the daytime, the casualties would definitely be reduced.
(3) Why did the collapse occur? There are three possibilities below!
The first possibility: Some people say that it has rained for more than a month, the roadbed is soaked, the slope is steep, and it is more than 2 o'clock in the morning, so there are such big casualties.
- I have to admit that the prolonged rain is indeed one of the causes of the landslide.
But here I have a question, there was no rain that day, why did there still be a landslide?
The second possibility: cutting corners in the construction of highways, but the high-speed has been used for some time, this possibility is relatively small;
The third possibility: In order to save money, the high-speed maintenance party has less frequent maintenance inspections every day, so even if there is "road damage", they do not know about it and do not prevent it in advance.
So, what caused this accident is still being investigated, but even if it is a natural and man-made disaster, so many people died at once, it is very worth reflecting on.
From public information, it can be known that the Weston Expressway was completed in 2006, with a total investment of 2.1 billion, and it has only been 18 years this year, and the construction process is also very difficult, and there were also problems such as landslides during the construction of that year.
No one knows when the accident will come, and this accident reminds us:
- Not only be kind to yourself, but also to your family, don't go to the back to "empty sadness"!
Finally, do you have anything to say about this accident?
