What are the traffic accidents caused by automobile tires?

First question: I collected several traffic accidents caused by car puncture.

1 Buick's flat tire caused three deaths and four injuries (July 2004-18)

Xinbao News (Reporter Yan Zheng) Yesterday at 5 pm, the Beijing-Tianjin-Tangshan Expressway entered Beijing. A big Buick flew over the isolation belt and crashed into a Santana car driving in the reverse lane, causing three deaths and four injuries.

When the reporter rushed to the scene, the traffic police were investigating the scene, and the black Buick roof completely collapsed; White Santana parked in the innermost lane, and the roof was smashed into a large piece. According to witnesses, the black Buick was driving in the driveway leaving Beijing. Suddenly the tire on the left side of the car burst and the speed was too fast. The black Buick suddenly vacated and hit the middle of the road. After that, the roof fell off and hit the Santana roof driving in the reverse lane. The Buick driver was covered in blood. In order to save other passengers in the car, the firemen cut the roof of the car with a cutting machine before pulling out another dead person.

2006- 1- 19 noon 1 1 20: 00, a vehicle explosion accident occurred at 3 km from Shendan Expressway. When a white Santana car from Shenyang to Benxi drove to this section, the right front wheel of the car suddenly burst. Fortunately, the speed was not fast when it happened, and the driver of the car immediately braked and stopped at the side of the road. But when braking, the spark generated by the friction between the inner tube and the road surface ignited the front of the car, and then the car caught fire. Although the driver of the car immediately put out the fire, the passing driver also took out his own fire extinguisher to help put out the fire, but the fire spread rapidly and was not controlled. Firefighters who arrived later put out the fire, but the car was completely burned. During the spontaneous combustion of Santana, there was a slight traffic jam in this section of Shendan Expressway, but after the fire was put out, it immediately returned to normal. There was only one driver in the car at the time of the incident, and no one was injured in the fire.

On September 25, 2005, a major traffic accident occurred in Hefei, He 'an Expressway. A commercial Buick crashed into a guardrail more than ten meters long on the expressway and fell off the roadbed, killing two people and injuring two others. According to a policeman of Hefei Traffic Police Detachment Expressway who handled the traffic accident, one of the deceased was the chairman of Shanghai Zhong Da Guarantee Co., Ltd. ..

It is understood that at 7: 50 am on the 25th, at 7 km+400 m from He 'an Expressway, a Buick commercial vehicle with the vehicle number of Shanghai DG6940 broke the guardrail more than ten meters long beside the expressway, and then turned off the subgrade of the expressway. A witness said: there are four people in the car, three men and one woman. After receiving the alarm, a group of police officers and 120 personnel from Hefei Traffic Police Expressway quickly rushed to the scene of the incident. At this time, a man died in the car and three injured people were immediately sent to the Third People's Hospital of Hefei for rescue. One of them died of serious injuries.

The police of the accident department of a brigade of Hefu Traffic Police Expressway told the reporter: It is understood that one of the two men who died was the chairman of Shanghai Guarantee Co., Ltd., surnamed Han, 48 years old; Another deceased surnamed Wen, 45, was the business manager of the company. On the same day, several people drove from Bengbu and planned to visit Jiuhua Mountain on Jing 'an Expressway. It is reported that when the car accident happened, Chairman Han and Wen Moumou were sitting in the fourth and second rows of Buick respectively.

The preliminary investigation of the accident by the traffic police department showed that a tire suddenly burst during the high-speed driving of the vehicle, which led to the vehicle losing control.

4 Chang 'an had a small flat tire, and 10 car collided in a chain.

On May 6th, 2006, at about noon on June 6th, 65438, a car suddenly blew a tire and rolled over in the East Fifth Ring Road, followed by a Santana car with brake failure and rear-end collision. After two cars, there were even eight cars that couldn't brake and chased each other.

Yesterday (16) at noon 1: 30, in the easternmost lane of the North Bridge of the East Fifth Ring Road, a red Changan bread rolled over next to a black Santana 2000, all the walls of the car body were deformed and the left front wheel was sunken. In the westernmost lane, eight slightly injured cars were parked in turn, and more than a dozen passengers in these cars were coordinating compensation with the traffic police on the roadside.

At the scene of the incident, a man in his twenties was covered in blood, leaning on the side of the road, clutching his forehead and whispering, "I am dizzy ... I didn't drive fast, only 60 miles." According to other drivers, the man is a van driver. After the rollover, he climbed out of the completely broken front window. 10 minutes later, 120 arrived and sent it away.

According to the driver of black Santana who followed Xiaomian, Chang 'an Bread had a flat tire when passing through the railway bridge around the city, and then hit the isolation belt and fell to the ground. He quickly stepped on the brakes, so he was not injured after the rear-end collision. The eight cars behind are Willard, Big Dipper, Li Xia, Maxima, an Alto whose bumper was hit, a car that ran away after rear-end collision with Alto, and an Alto and Santana. The drivers of these cars said that they all caught up after seeing the accident in front of them. Many people felt that there seemed to be oil on a section of the railway bridge around the city, which caused the cars to stop. At 2: 30 pm, the trailer towed Changan Bread away. Jinsong Traffic Team handled this matter.

A flat tire turned two weddings into two funerals.

On the morning of June 5438+1October1June, 2003, two couples came to Baoshan Branch of Yangzhou Venus Wedding Photography Co., Ltd. in Baoshan District to take wedding photos for the upcoming wedding. However, on their way back to the company after shooting the location, disaster happened. The car carrying two couples suddenly rolled over a few times, followed by a bride who lost her child two months pregnant. More unfortunate than her is another bride, Miss Zeng, who just graduated from college. Wedding photos became her photos, and the upcoming wedding became a funeral. In addition to the two brides robbed in this accident, one person died after being taken to the hospital.

The police found another damage in the middle of the tire crown. This one-centimeter-long damage has obvious puncture marks, which led to the accident.

The second problem is that tires, as the four legs of a car, are one of the most important components for driving safety. In sharp contrast to many car owners who ignore tire problems, the proportion of safety accidents caused by tire problems is quite amazing every year. According to the statistics of transportation departments, serious traffic accidents caused by automobile tire leakage and puncture account for 46.8% of the total accidents. On the expressway, the proportion is as high as 60%-70%, which is the highest proportion in all kinds of accidents. After testing, the car had a flat tire accident when driving at a speed of 160 km/h, and the death rate of drivers and passengers was 100%. Flat tire has been listed as the three major killers of road traffic in China along with fatigue driving and speeding.

Third question

1. Check whether the tire and spare tire pressure are normal before driving every time.

2. If you find that the tire pressure is too high in hot summer or driving for a long time, you should stop in the shade and wait for the tire pressure to return to normal. Please do not deflate or pour cold water to cool and decompress, so as not to shorten the life of the tire. Pouring cold water can also cause the brake disc to crack. When wading, it must also be carried out after the tire temperature drops.

We should avoid misunderstanding of tire pressure-high rather than low. Some people like to inflate the tire pressure a little higher, thinking that it can overload and save fuel. This is not correct. If the tire pressure is too high, the contact surface of the tire will be reduced, and the wear of the central part will be aggravated, which is easy to puncture. Excessive tire pressure reduces the adhesion coefficient of tires, reduces the braking effect when braking, and increases the amount of side slip, which is very harmful to driving safety. If the tire pressure is too low, it will lead to excessive wear on both sides of the tire, tire damage and increased fuel consumption. The tire pressure should be inflated according to the standard air pressure marked on the tire, and the inflation amount is generally 5% of the standard air pressure. When driving on urban roads, you can choose +5% (because of the slow speed), which can reduce the labor intensity and fuel consumption when turning, and when driving long distances, you can choose -5% (because of the fast speed), which can prevent tire puncture and enhance the braking effect.

4. Be sure to change the tires so that all tires are evenly worn. Generally, it is changed every 20000KM. The method is: the right front rotates to the right rear wheel, the left front rotates to the left rear wheel, the right rear rotates to the left front wheel, and the left rear rotates to the right front wheel.

I'll give you one more question.

That's an emergency after a flat tire.

Life-saving measures for flat tires: don't turn the steering wheel or step on the brakes. Step on the accelerator to slow down, hold the steering wheel tightly, stick to the original lane, and then switch to the shoulder in time!

Actually, I never thought about what to do if I have a flat tire. On second thought, if it weren't for this report, I would probably be the one who stepped on the brakes. The following messages are from friends, please remember.

Life-saving coup for a flat tire: never step on the brakes, lest you get out of control and roll over.

16 at noon, 87km north, near Baoshan Interchange Road in Hsinchu, an RV overturned, causing 1 3 injuries on the spot. The police investigation pointed out that the cause of the accident was a flat tire on the right rear wheel, which caused the RV to hit the guardrail first and then roll over at high speed, resulting in a tragedy.

According to Jiang Shouding, a former highway policeman, when an ordinary car driver encounters an emergency, his instinctive reaction is to slow down first, and of course he can't help slamming on the brakes, but this is also the most dangerous behavior, especially on the highway. Once the steering wheel with a flat tire loses control first, the result of sudden braking is to hit the guardrail or quickly deviate from the lane, and then roll over out of control, which is also easy to cause the rear car to collide.

So in the case of a flat tire, don't slam on the brakes, whether it's the front wheel or the rear wheel. You should keep calm, hold the steering wheel and turn slowly. These movements are usually what the professional "general luck" is best at on the expressway. As for ordinary car drivers, they are also negligent in tire maintenance. Once the tire tread is smooth and cracked, or the tire has a wound, don't cause a puncture to save money, especially when driving in rainy days, and the tire tread is shallow.

The fatality rate of minivan puncture is 70%, and the turnover rate of recreational vehicles is also high. In addition to the common accidents in the national highway police station, do not keep the driving distance and change lanes at will.

Improper handling of puncture is also the main cause of the accident, especially as long as there is one puncture and rollover of small trucks, the mortality rate is as high as 70%, and there are many cases of puncture and rollover of recreational vehicles.

Many drivers' first reaction to a flat tire is to brake suddenly, but the vehicle often rolls over and hits the guardrail, and passengers may be thrown out of the car or crushed by the body. Ordinary cars and minibuses are less likely to turn over after a flat tire because of their low center of gravity, while small trucks are more likely to turn over after a flat tire because of their unstable center of gravity.

As for recreational vehicles with high body, the turnover rate is not low. So far this year, there have been four cases of flat tires and rollover of recreational vehicles in this jurisdiction.

In the same way, take your time and don't worry.

When driving on the highway, the driver does not hit the steering wheel urgently.

When braking, loosen the throttle to slow down, hold the steering wheel tightly and stick to the original lane.

When it is determined that there is no car coming from behind or there is enough safe distance, turn on the direction light and switch to the shoulder.

If the vehicle is out of control, you can also slow down by "rubbing" the inner and outer guardrails.

Avoiding vehicle rollover is the way to save your life.

Seat belts are fastened in the front and rear seats.

Passengers in the back seat of buses and buses are not wearing seat belts.

You may be thrown out of the car when you roll over, causing serious casualties. Therefore, the National Highway Police suggested that,

Before the legislation is completed, vehicles driving on national highways, whether buses, minibuses or front and rear passengers,

If you can fasten your seat belt completely, it will help the safety of passers-by.

But the most important thing is to drive safely and improve prevention.

I hope the above answers are helpful to you! ~~~~
