The woman on the bike had just sent her child to school, but she didn't expect a car accident on the way home.

At present, the driver of the large truck that caused the accident has been controlled by the Haikou public security traffic police for investigation, and the specific cause of the accident is still under further investigation.
Large trucks have blind spots, and once pedestrians or electric vehicles are too close to the blind area of large trucks, they are particularly prone to accidents. In fact, at about 8 o'clock on October 6, there was a traffic accident at the intersection of Ganghua Road and Regent Road in Haikou City, and a large truck also crashed an electric vehicle carrying 2 people when turning right, resulting in the death of a woman on the electric vehicle.
Traffic police special reminder
The big car has a blind spot, travel away! When non-motorized vehicles and pedestrians pass on the road, they should try to maintain a sufficient safe distance from large trucks. Especially at intersections, pay special attention to large trucks that turn right, do not preemptively surpass the large trucks that are turning, and do not put yourself in the "inner wheel difference" area of large trucks to prevent collisions.
What is "Inner Wheel Difference"?
The inner wheel difference refers to the difference between the turning radius of the inner front wheel and the turning radius of the inner rear wheel when the vehicle turns, and the difference between the turning radius of the inner front wheel and the turning radius of the inner rear wheel is called the inner wheel difference, commonly known as the "death radius".

Dynamic rendering of the inner wheel difference
If you observe the state of the vehicle when turning from a high place, you will find that the turning vehicle is moving with the inner rear wheel as the fulcrum, and the area between the front and rear wheels is actually different. The longer the body, the greater the turning amplitude, and the greater the wheel difference formed. Simply put, the front wheel of a large truck can bypass an object, but the rear wheel cannot go around, and this area is the blind area on the right side of the truck driver's line of sight, if other traffic participants are in this blind zone, the danger can be imagined.
