During the long-awaited May Day holiday, some people couldn't wait to reunite with their families, and some people took their families to travel together, but who would have thought that an accident would take their lives.
At more than 2 o'clock in the morning on May 1, the road surface of the Meizhou Chayang section of the Meida Expressway in Guangdong Province suddenly collapsed, and so far, the accident has caused 20 vehicles to fall, 24 people died, and 30 people were sent to the hospital for treatment.
According to reports, a driver rescued 6 people at the first time, the youngest of whom was only 3 years old.
It can be seen from the exposed scene footage that after the vehicle fell into the cliff, thick smoke was emitting from the scene, the vehicle caught fire, and the sound of explosions was heard.
For the occurrence of the accident, many people are also very sad, and some netizens left a message saying:
"These cars are basically working outside, and people who go home on May Day holiday will let their families who are waiting at home hear the bad news?"
"Basically, I go home for the holidays, and a car is basically full. ”
After the accident, some family members rushed to the scene as soon as possible, and sat on the ground in unspeakable grief, while the reporters who interviewed them choked up several times.
According to Ms. Rao, an eyewitness, when the family passed through the section of the road where the incident occurred, the road had collapsed in half, and the driver stepped on the accelerator before rushing over, and then they tried to remind the vehicles behind not to drive further, but because it was dark and the vehicles behind were fast, no one noticed at all.
It is reported that it was a truck that was found to have collapsed on the road, and the driver stopped the car behind after stopping, so as not to let the car behind continue to fall.
In this accident, some people were lucky to escape, but some people were unfortunately killed. Some netizens left a message saying that the eldest sister's family of 5 people, three adults disappeared on the spot, the 3-year-old baby is still in the ICU, and the child's father is suffering a fracture in the hospital.
However, according to this netizen, the child has a cerebral hemorrhage, and the situation is not very optimistic.
Another netizen left a message saying that his brother's family of four is currently in the hospital, hoping that they will all be safe.
However, what is heart-wrenching is that a woman posted that all 5 members of her family are in a state of disconnection, the phone can't get through, and there are her parents and younger siblings in the car, and she hopes that the car friends who see her can call her.
Some people think that it is because of the recent rain, which has caused the soil to loosen, so the high-speed road surface will sink, and some people think that it is because of the large traffic flow during the May Day holiday, so the road surface collapses, but more people think that it is related to the quality.
Although the specific cause is not yet known, it is certain that there was a landslide on the Meilong Expressway (Meida Section) in 2023, and the reason for the report was due to the continuous heavy rain, and traffic control was also carried out at that time, fortunately there were no casualties at that time.
Not only that, but also the official media learned that the Meida Expressway is 61.3 kilometers long, with a total investment of about 5.637 billion yuan.
It was supposed to be a happy May Day, but I didn't expect to die unexpectedly in the end, and it was all a family sitting in the same car, what a sad thing. As for the accident, whether it is a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, it is still unknown, and in the end, I hope that everyone can be safe, and I hope that such an accident will not happen again!
