The local traffic police are currently involved in the investigation, and the specific cause of the accident will be announced after being identified.

Since this video was circulated on the Internet, netizens have had various discussions, and everyone’s focus has been on the driver of the large truck. For example, whether the driver is overloaded, whether there is drunk driving, whether the driver is licensed to drive, whether the driver is speeding, whether he is distracted while driving, etc. Some people also speculated that the minibus in front braked suddenly, but the brake lights did not come on in time, and the large truck was unable to react for a while.
