"Country Love Story" continues, but the impressive "Bigfoot Xie" is gone. According to media reports, Yu Yuexian, the actor of "Xie Bigfoot", was killed because of the early morning rush to participate in the activity, the car collided with two camels, unfortunately killed, she left, she walked so hurriedly!
The accident police are still investigating and handling, but around the accident accident, it has still triggered a hot discussion on the Internet. There were two important factors in the accident: late at night and early in the morning; the road encounter with animals, or large animals. So, how do we ensure safety when we drive late at night? If you encounter animals on the road at this time, how can you avoid danger safely?
Also in the early hours of the morning, there are many artists who have died in car accidents.
Zhang Yusheng, a famous musician, was killed in a serious car accident one day in 1997, when he was driving home in the early morning, at the age of 31.
"Xiangfei" Liu Dan, in the early morning of January 30, 2000, due to a car accident on the highway, she was 27 years old, and Xiang Yuyu died.
There are many more such cases, singer Chen Yiyi, Malaysian movie star Jiang Ganling, etc. are because of late night travel, car accidents, unfortunate deaths.
What is the danger of driving at night?
The lights at night are generally dim, even if there are headlights, it will still affect the driver's line of sight; at the same time, people's reaction in the middle of the night will be much slower than during the day; the blinding lights on the opposite road may lead to instant blindness; the sudden appearance of animals and so on. These increase the danger of late-night travel, so the danger of late-night driving is many times greater than that of daytime. There are thousands of roads, and safety is the first. Therefore, we should avoid traveling at night as much as possible.
A traffic accident caused by the sudden appearance of an animal
Because of the sudden appearance of animals, there are many traffic accidents caused.
On June 25, 2018, in the Cangnan section of the G15 Shenhai Expressway, a normal car suddenly hit a wild boar crossing the highway, and the front of the car was deformed due to the impact, and the wild boar died on the spot.
On May 25, 2015, a man from Taiwan Province, Ho, unfortunately destroyed his 4.5 million Hong Kong dollar Ferrari 599 F1 to avoid small animals, and suffered heavy losses.
In November 2020, a BMW in Jiangsu Collided with a Wild Boar that suddenly sprang onto the road, killing the wild boar on the spot and damaging the BMW.
Such accident cases abound, so how should we deal with the sudden appearance of animals?
In general, small animals such as cats, dogs, and rabbits suddenly appear on the highway, and if we do not handle them properly, they may cause traffic accidents, and sometimes even cause tragic traffic accidents. So, in the face of large wild animals, do we still have a chance to safely avoid danger? When encountering animals on the road, what should we do, is it the most reasonable and safe?
Encounter animals on the road, how to avoid danger safely
Driving on the road to encounter animals, to avoid danger, depends on the following conditions: whether the animal can be detected in advance, fast or slow.
Whether we can detect animals in advance depends mainly on whether we are focused or not, and the visual conditions when driving. Generally speaking, our field of vision is relatively wide during the day, as long as we concentrate, we have a high probability of finding animals on the road in advance. However, at night, because our field of vision is affected by light, the possibility of detecting animals in advance at this time is relatively small, and even larger animals are difficult to detect in advance.
Of course, even in the daytime with a wide field of view, sometimes encountering wild animals that suddenly sprang out of the road, such as galloping deer, antelopes, etc., the time for early detection may be relatively short, sometimes even no time.
Whether the animal can be detected in advance has a great impact on the size of the accident, but whether the treatment measures are correct depends on the speed of the car. The speed of the car is often the key to determining the size of the accident.
On December 19, 2019, a vehicle carrying construction workers in Thailand took emergency avoidance measures to avoid puppies that suddenly sprang out of the road, causing the car to rush out of the road and hit a telephone pole on the side of the road, killing 6 people and injuring 7 people, and the accident was very tragic.
Under conditions with high speeds, no matter how long in advance the animal is found, and regardless of the size of the animal, it is not possible to take the method of emergency braking to avoid or slam the direction of the change of lane. Because our speed is very fast at this time, emergency braking and rapid lane changes are easy to cause the vehicle to lose control, roll over, deviate from the lane and even rush out of the road, which is very dangerous, and often serious traffic accidents are difficult to avoid. At this time, the most reasonable way is to grasp the steering wheel, constantly tap the brakes to slow down, and hit it head-on. This is what we often call "letting the speed not give way". This method is also very practical and most reasonable for the distance between the vehicles and the sudden braking of the front car.
Of course, under the condition of fast speed, it is very likely that we have taken textbook measures, but it is still difficult to avoid major accidents. The speed is too fast, and many situations are no longer under our control. Therefore, pay attention to the speed, do not be too fast, this is the safest way to drive.
If it is under the condition of slow speed, there are many ways and methods of processing, such as emergency braking, deceleration and detour, which may be averted, even if it is hit head-on, it will not cause too serious traffic accidents. Of course, if the handling is not reasonable, it may also cause serious traffic accidents, such as not observing the rapid change of lanes in a hurry.
On August 7, 2016, in Guangxi Provincial Highway 202 Resource County, a couple drove to avoid animals crossing the road, and hit the direction sharply, causing the car to crash into the river, causing one death and one injury.
Why "Xie Bigfoot" failed to safely avoid danger speculated
The accident occurred at 3 a.m., it is not difficult to imagine that the field of vision at this time should be relatively poor, and the time to find the camels on the road in advance should not be too long, and it may even not be detected in advance. This is what we call the first disadvantage in an accident, with poor visibility and a relatively slow response from the driver.
Moreover, judging from the news reports, the internal organs of the camels that were hit could be seen flying around at the scene of the accident. It can be seen that when an accident occurs, the speed should be relatively fast, at least not slow. This is what we call the second and most critical factor.
Looking at it again, the accident caused injuries to the driver and another passenger, and only "Xie Bigfoot" unfortunately died. Artists who go out to participate in activities in the early morning will not wear seat belts for the convenience of resting? Of course, this is just a speculation.
Finally, going out in the early morning, is the driver not able to rest well, is it fatigue driving? It is also possible.
Write at the end
There are thousands of roads, and safety is the first. No matter when, we need to pay attention to driving safety at all times, fasten seat belts, pay attention to avoid fatigue driving, pay attention to proper speed control, and do not drive fast cars and drag racing. Keep traffic accidents away and give your family peace of mind.
