1.？ Driving at high speed, with high speed and great impact.
2.？ The truck hit the car, causing great losses.
3.？ There are many cars in the serial rear-end collision.
4.？ Steel dropping is the direct cause.
I. Overview of the accident This serious traffic accident occurred at about 9: 30 pm on May 3, and the specific accident occurred on a section of the expressway in Huzhou section of Lianhang Expressway.
The person responsible for the accident is Wang, a truck driver in Henan. He was driving a heavy-duty semi-trailer loaded with 15 I-beam, with a unit length of about 12. 1 m and a unit weight of about 2.2 tons.
When driving to the accident section, the semi-trailer driven by Wang rear-ended three passenger cars and two other heavy-duty semi-trailers that were driving slowly ahead because of high-speed traffic on holidays.
At the same time, because the I-beam on Wang's car was not fastened, after the truck rear-ended, it rushed out of Wang's cab due to inertia and crashed into the two cars in front.
The accident directly led to the death of the truck driver Wang and five other passengers on the minibus, and three others were injured.
It is sad that such a big traffic accident happened during the May Day holiday, but it also sounded the alarm for everyone to drive safely again, especially all drivers driving large vehicles.
Second, why did the rear-end collision cause such heavy casualties? High-speed rear-end collision accidents happen from time to time, but there are special reasons for such heavy casualties in this accident.
1.？ The impact of rear-end collision is great when driving at high speed.
In this accident, it was not an ordinary car that caused the rear-end collision, but a heavy-duty semi-trailer loaded with 15 pieces of 2.2 tons of steel.
According to the weight of general heavy-duty semi-trailer plus the weight of all steel, it is estimated that the weight of the whole vehicle at that time was as high as 34 tons.
Such a heavy truck travels at high speed, and it takes a long braking distance to stop completely if it brakes normally.
In this accident, the truck driven by Wang obviously found that there was congestion in front, which caused the braking distance to be insufficient. The van directly chased the passenger car in front.
In this case of sudden braking, even if the truck finally slows down, it will have a great impact on the passenger car in front.
2.？ The truck hit the car, causing great losses.
Another reason for the serious consequences of this rear-end collision accident is that it is a truck rear-end passenger car, which is very harmful in itself.
Trucks are bigger than buses in size and weight. In the event of a collision, the bus will be seriously injured.
3.？ There are many cars in the serial rear-end collision.
Another reason for the serious consequences of this rear-end collision is that many vehicles were affected in this rear-end collision, and a total of six vehicles were affected.
Originally a holiday trip, the minibus was full of passengers who came out to play or go home.
The population base is large, so there are many casualties after the accident.
4.？ Steel dropping is the direct cause.
The direct cause of many casualties caused by this rear-end collision was the fall of steel.
If a simple truck rear-ends a passenger car, because its own truck is slowed down because of traffic congestion, even if it rear-ends, only the passenger car that rear-ends should have casualties.
The key point is that the heavy I-beam on the truck driven by Wang was not fastened properly in this accident. After the truck rear-ended, the steel directly hit the accident bus.
It can be said that all the passengers who died in the accident were crushed to death by the weight of steel.
Third, warning and reflection. The accident has happened. We feel sorry for the passengers who were killed and injured in the accident. More need to cause warning and reflection.
1.？ The safety of trucks should not be underestimated.
All truck drivers who drive trucks full of goods should check whether the goods are firmly fixed before going out to avoid high-speed falling accidents.
At the same time, the company where the truck is located should conduct safety training for all truck drivers to ensure that every truck driver knows the importance of safe driving.
Truck drivers who violate safe driving regulations should be warned and punished.
2.？ Cars use special lanes.
At high speed, large vehicles such as trucks should take special lanes and should not drive into bus lanes for a long time.
This requires every truck driver to raise awareness, not to occupy the road illegally, and to be a quality driver who respects the safety of others.
3.？ Always remember to drive safely.
Every driver should remember to drive safely, don't drive tired, don't make phone calls or do other distractions.
Especially on the expressway, any minor distraction may lead to traffic accidents such as rear-end collision and collision.
