yes, that's a terrible thing. The accident of the M7 and the sprinkler truck is tragic enough, and now there is an accident in Baoding, the van hits the sweeper, this accident is frequent, how can it not be prevented?
Everyone knows that road safety is important, but when it comes to specific implementation, why is it so difficult? Every time an accident occurs, the people who watch it feel distressed, and the people they meet are ruined. How should this security awareness be strengthened?

After the accident, everyone was saying that accidents always come suddenly, and it is true. But what we can do is minimize the possibility of this suddenness? Whether it's improving driver training, improving vehicle safety, or improving road management, there has to be a way.
Look at these two accidents, both of them are big cars hitting small cars, and the damage is so great, is there no way to prevent it in advance? Or are we no longer surprised by this?
I hope that the relevant departments can pay attention to it and don't let this kind of tragedy become normal again. Road safety is everyone's business, so don't wait until an accident happens.
Event recap
This is really distressing, the collision between the van and the sweeper has caused such heavy casualties. In Baoding, how did an ordinary van collide with a sweeper? This is not just a small probability event, but also a wake-up call.
The accident occurred on April 29, near Liucun on the L4 line in Anxin County. The van crashed directly into the rear of the sweeper, and the result was very tragic. The front of the car shattered, the glass shattered to the ground, and the doors were deformed. Firefighters arrived at the scene, dismantled the car, and rescued seven people, but five people were no longer saved, and only two survived.
Think about it, how miserable that scene was. The old man with gray temples, some of whom may be fathers, some of whom may be sons, have all been turned into corpses. This kind of thing happened, and everyone was not happy.
Now, the injured person has been taken to the hospital and is in stable condition. But things like this can't just go by. We have to ask, why is this happening? Is it too fast, or is it a bad line of sight? Is the driver driving tired? Or is there something wrong with traffic management?
These questions require clear answers. More importantly, how can this be prevented from happening again? Is there a need for stricter pavement regulation, or is there a need for restrictions on travel times and routes for specific vehicles?
The accident personnel were exposed
The vans were all elderly over 60 years old, who chose to go out to work in order to earn a living. It is reported that these elderly people are all from various villages in Duancun Township, and the average age is 60 years old.
It was the day they agreed to go out to work, and they were still chatting and joking with each other in the car, completely unaware of the impending accident.
Indeed, these old people, who are already in their sixtieth year, are definitely willing to enjoy the happy time of reuniting with their families at home if it is not for the purpose of earning more pensions.
Similar incidents are frequent
On April 19, a serious traffic accident occurred in Weichang County, Hebei Province, killing eight people and injuring one. A van and a large van were involved in the accident. The van driver was 49 years old and was pulling a cart of migrant workers to the construction site, while the truck driver was 50 years old. The tragedy occurred when the van was trying to overtake and collided with a large truck.
All the victims of this accident were migrant workers who went to the construction site, and they were from the same village. Village officials revealed that the victims belonged to four or five different families, with the oldest in his 60s and the youngest in his 40s. They were part-time workers working on a sand control project that day.
Sadly, this accident is strikingly similar to other similar accidents, all involving a collision between a van and a large vehicle, and the passengers are all migrant workers. This repeated tragedy is that he went out to earn a living, but unexpectedly encountered misfortune on the road, which brought huge losses to many families. We must seriously think about how to improve road safety and protect the people who are on the move to make ends meet.
Netizens are hotly discussed
Netizens expressed their opinions, all talking about how sprinkler trucks and sweepers affect urban traffic. Some say that these vehicles are simply flooded, everywhere, and the roads have not been dried. It seems that you can really come across these cars that are busy sprinkling water everywhere.
Xiaobian thinks that there are so many sprinkler trucks and sweepers, at least it shows that our city is paying more and more attention to hygiene. Sweepers are slow, and that's because they're working. However, it is true that these special vehicles should be managed so that they do not work during rush hour to avoid congestion.
There are also netizens who don't pay so much attention to the brand of the car, and no one goes to the black car brand, just because the car is not a big brand. But I want to say that the key is safety, accidents occur so frequently, everyone should be more concerned about safety than brand. The brands of the cars are different, the characteristics are different, and we should look at it rationally.
It's really distressing, some netizens mentioned those old people who have to go out to work around the age of 60. They really want to lighten the burden on their children. Life forced them to work at this age, but they suffered misfortune, which is so sad. The five families who lost their loved ones, how should they face this sudden blow?
Some people also said that these sweepers and sprinkler trucks drove as slowly as turtles, and the van must have been speeding this time, otherwise it would not have caused such serious casualties. In this regard, Xiaobian believes that the management of urban operation vehicles, such as sprinkler trucks and sweepers, should be stricter. Try not to work in heavy traffic to avoid accidents caused by sudden braking. When you encounter these vehicles while driving, it is best to change lanes and not follow behind. In this way, it may be possible to reduce some unnecessary traffic accidents.
epilogue
Finally, no matter what brand of car it is, safety always comes first, and the safety of passengers cannot be ignored because of some bells and whistles.
In addition, road-specific vehicles such as sprinkler trucks should work away from rush hour and only when necessary.
As for the accident, who is more responsible? Is it a van driver or a sprinkler truck? This question deserves to be explored in depth. We need to analyze it carefully and not rush to conclusions based on the outcome of the accident alone.
