Recently, a serious traffic accident occurred in Tai'an City, my country. A truck accidentally ran over an electric vehicle next to it while turning right, and the owner of the electric vehicle died. The truck driver has been ruled out as a suspect of drunk driving. Judging from the surveillance video, the truck driver caused the car accident because of a blind spot in his sight. Therefore, when the court ruled, he could only be punished for manslaughter at most.
First of all, from the perspective of traffic safety, in fact, neither the truck driver nor the electric vehicle driver made a subjective error. The incident occurred at an intersection with traffic lights, and the truck itself turned right. Electric vehicles, on the other hand, go straight near the zebra crossing, and both parties follow the instructions of the traffic lights, so there is no illegal or intentional accident.
Secondly, after the incident, the truck driver called the police immediately and cooperated with the police investigation. According to the hospital’s test results, the truck driver did not drive under the influence of alcohol or fatigue. , it was completely normal driving that caused the accident.
At this point, many netizens must have asked, since neither party was at fault, why did this accident happen? In fact, this is due to the design of the truck itself. The truck itself is relatively large. The truck in this case is about three meters high, and the driver's position is about two meters, so there will be a certain blind spot. At that time There was no electric car in sight, which led to the accident.
In addition, although it is not a subjective reason, it is a fact that the truck driver committed manslaughter, so the truck driver should also bear the corresponding responsibility. Judging from the handling of previous cases, most such cases will not result in criminal offenses. Instead of punishment, the matter will be resolved through compensation. The court will formulate a reasonable compensation plan based on the seriousness of the matter. If both parties can accept it, then the case will be resolved quickly.
