The clip on the Internet is only about 3 seconds long, believed to be taken by a passing driver. The clip shows a China-Hong Kong truck reversing on a highway in Shenzhen. A compact truck suddenly drove up from the rear at high speed, violently shaking the rear of the container truck, and there was a loud "bang" immediately, the parts of the car were scattered all over the ground, and almost the entire front of the truck was crushed.
A reporter from "Hong Kong 01" inquired about the incident from the Lok Ma Chau China-Hong Kong Freight Association. The chairman Jiang Zhiwei said that the location in the film is the Nanping Expressway connecting Dongguan and Huizhou to the Huanggang Port. Generally, cross-border drivers often commute to this place deliver goods.
It is understood that the incident happened yesterday (13th). Jiang believed that when the container truck drove to the exit of Nanping Expressway, it should have cut to the right at the branch line, and went to Huanggang Port to return to Hong Kong via the Guangzhou-Shenzhen Expressway. When the left lane diverged, the driver realized that he was on the wrong lane. The driver then stopped and reversed. Unexpectedly, the car behind drove into a violent collision. The speed of the truck that caused the accident was also very fast, and he suspected that it was speeding. The driver of Dou was distracted for a while, did not pay attention to the traffic situation, and did not intend to brake.
It is said that the driver and passengers of the compact truck were killed in the accident, and they are believed to be mainlanders.
Jiang said that he is understanding the situation of the cross-border driver and contacting the container truck company involved. It is estimated that the driver is still under investigation in the Mainland.
Jiang Zhiwei added that the arrangement of direct "point-to-point" pick-up or delivery only resumed on Monday (12th). Since China and Hong Kong cross-border drivers have not traveled north for a long time, they may not be able to get used to the traffic mode in the Mainland, and they are more likely to experience "unfamiliar roads". Happening.
In addition, many drivers in the industry have changed careers due to the previous restrictions on the two places, so new drivers will be relatively unfamiliar with the roads in the Mainland.
However, even if you go the wrong way, you should not be caught in the back wave. Because the driver cannot grasp the situation behind and his sight is blocked, he should rather "take as many roads as possible, causing unnecessary risks." Unfortunately, this incident caused tragedy.
