As can be seen from the video and pictures provided by netizens, the incident took place at an intersection. The cement tanker responsible for the accident was parked about 10 meters away from the zebra crossing. An electric vehicle was stuck at the bottom of the front wheel of the vehicle. A person fell on the zebra crossing. His body was crushed by the cement tanker and was badly bruised. According to eyewitnesses at the scene, the electric vehicle was hit by a cement tanker truck and then rolled under the vehicle. The driver was suspected to have been run over by the cement tanker truck. The driver of the electric vehicle died on the spot, leaving a large blood stain on the road.

Whether it is a bus, a large truck, or a large engineering vehicle like the one in this accident, we should stay away and keep a sufficient distance from them when we encounter them on the road. Due to their own objective reasons, such large vehicles are very large. The first point is that their braking distance is much longer than that of small vehicles. Once an emergency occurs, the conventional braking distance is simply not enough for such a large vehicle.

How to divide the responsibility for the accident?

Some netizens believe that under normal circumstances, electric vehicles are lawless and do not abide by traffic rules. Even though there are non-motorized lanes, they have to swarm into the motorized lanes and have multiple vehicles side by side. It is very difficult to avoid a car accident. Although I don’t know the specific cause of this traffic accident, there are too many such phenomena. I still hope that everyone can pay attention to it and don’t cause trouble for the sake of quick success. Whether it is the responsibility of large trucks or electric vehicles, the lives lost in the end are irreparable. Therefore, obeying traffic rules is not a matter for a few people, but concerns each of us.
