In the TV series "Country Love", the famous actor Yu Yuexian, who played "Xie Dazu" and died in a car accident in Alxa Right Banner, Inner Mongolia, has aroused concern, and camel wreckage was found near the accident site. At present, the specific causes and responsibility determination of the above-mentioned traffic accidents are still under investigation. On August 13, a Reporter from Nandu combed through a number of police bulletins released by the official WeChat public account of the Traffic Police Detachment of the Alxa League Public Security Bureau, "Alxa League Traffic Police", and found that there were frequent traffic accidents between local vehicles and camels, often causing camel deaths, driver injuries, vehicle damage, and camels were driven away after walking on the highway.
Frequent collisions between vehicles and camels Some drivers flee after hitting and causing accidents
According to the Alxa Right Banner Public Security Bureau, at 3:27 a.m. on August 9, 2021, the small passenger car taken by Yu Yuexian was involved in a traffic accident in the territory of the Alxa Right Banner of the Alxa League in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, resulting in the death of Yu Yuexian and the injury of the driver and two passengers. Pictures of the accident scene show that the car was badly deformed, the roof was lifted, and there were impact debris and camel wreckage nearby.
On August 13, Nandu reporters combed through a number of police reports released by the "Alxa League Traffic Police" and found that the frequent traffic accidents between local vehicles and camels often caused camel deaths, driver injuries, and vehicle damage, and according to the Road Traffic Safety Law, drivers were given corresponding administrative penalties. In addition, there are also drivers driving vehicles that collide with camels, causing camel casualties and fleeing.
In May 2020, a camel was walking on the Wushi Expressway, and on the outside of the highway 200 meters from the camel, there was a broken net fence. After receiving the alarm from the masses, the police of the Uba Brigade of the Alxa League Public Security Traffic Management Detachment found a rope to put on the neck of the camel, drove it off the highway, and repaired the net fence.
The camels were driven away after walking up the highway.
According to the "Alxa League Traffic Police", located in the northwest of the Alxa League, badain Jarin Town, Ayou Banner, has a total of seven Sumu towns and 40 Gacha under its jurisdiction. From January to October 2019, more than 100 livestock raised by herdsmen along the various roads in the jurisdiction were killed and injured by passing vehicles (heads and peaks), especially the number of camels, resulting in direct economic losses of nearly one million yuan.
Camels are free-range on the road to graze in case of accidents and are tied to a nocturnal glow band
On August 11, Mr. Mo, a herdsman of the Right Banner of Alxa, once told Nandu reporters that in the Alxa region and even the whole territory of Inner Mongolia, many herders had their own grasslands, and later built roads on the grasslands for the convenience of transportation, but camels and other livestock can still move freely on the grasslands. "Whether it's a cow, a sheep, a horse or a camel, it doesn't come home at night, and wherever it wants to go, it can walk on the road at night, just like walking in its own house."
To prevent traffic accidents, camels are tied with a nighttime glow band.
Hu Riwa, a camel farmer in Alxa Right Banner, also said, "Alxa Right Banner is a camel township, and every household has hundreds of camels, and there is no fixed grassland. ”
According to the "Alxa League Traffic Police", due to the sparsely populated regional environment of Alxa, the livestock of herdsmen are basically in a free range state. The main reasons for the livestock on the road are that the grass and trees on both sides of the road are relatively lush, there are often livestock grazing along the road, and the traffic safety awareness of livestock owners is weak.
In order to reduce the occurrence of livestock collisions with vehicles on the road, in the first half of 2019, the traffic police brigade of the Ayouqi Public Security Bureau carried out the theme party day activity of tying green ribbons for camels, organized party members and police to go deep into the herdsmen of Guangming Gacha in Badain Jarin Town, Ayouqi, and tied the free-range camels with night-time glowing belts that could be seen at night, prompting vehicles to drive safely at night. At the same time, it is proposed that the masses along the road spontaneously take care of their own livestock, improve their awareness of risk avoidance, strengthen their own management responsibilities, and prevent traffic accidents caused by livestock sneaking onto the road.
