A serious car accident occurred today (19th) in Xiaohe Village, Sishui County, Jining City, Shandong Province. Surveillance images showed that a large truck driving slowly on a country road was hit by another large red truck approaching at high speed when it passed the market. The arcade rushed forward, causing many people who were going to the market to escape in time, and were hit on the spot, resulting in 7 deaths and 10 injuries.
“Yangtze Evening News” reported that the surveillance video showed that at 10:44 am on the 19th, a large truck driving slowly on the village road was hit by an oncoming red truck on the left side of the front. Failed to stop, rushed directly to the pedestrians and private vehicles in the distance. Monitoring from different perspectives showed that many villagers were hit by the accident at that time, and a lot of dust was generated at the scene, making it difficult to judge the injuries of the hit people.
It is understood that the location of the accident was the section of the Yaowang line passing through Xiaohe Village. A local villager said, “It was time to go to the market, and many elderly people in the village were going to the market on that street.” A vendor who was doing business at the scene of the incident revealed that there would be a market on the street every four days and nine days of the local lunar calendar. In the past 20 years since I opened a shop on the street, this is the first time I have seen such a serious accident. “About 10 people were injured and taken away.”
The Xiaohe Village Health Center confirmed that more than 10 villagers were injured that morning and were rushed to the county for treatment, because the village health center does not have the corresponding rescue capabilities. Sishui County People’s Hospital pointed out that some villagers injured in the car accident were sent to the hospital for emergency treatment, and the other part were sent to the county hospital of traditional Chinese medicine for treatment. According to preliminary statistics, 7 people have died and 10 people have been injured. The detailed cause of the accident and the attribution of responsibility still need to be further clarified.
