Official response: The Guilin bus hit a high ceiling pole. Were there any casualties at the scene?

On April 17, a Guilin bus hit a high-limit railing, resulting in one death and six injuries. The injured have been sent to the hospital for rescue. As soon as the incident occurred, the local police department immediately took control of the scene, and fire fighters and related emergency personnel also rushed to the scene in time for rescue. So far, according to official reports, this incident has resulted in 1 death and 6 injuries.

Background: A serious traffic accident occurred in Guilin, Guangxi on April 17. The cause of the accident was that a tourist bus hit the height restriction barrier, and the entire top of the bus was directly swept by the height restriction barrier. The scene looked very distressing. From the video sent out, we can see that the top of the bus is directly penetrated by the height limit bar, and we can clearly see that the height limit bar is directly passing through the heads of passengers, which looks very worrying. The car body was severely damaged, all the glass on all sides was broken and scattered on the ground, and there were also a lot of broken glass falling on the passengers inside the car. The whole scene looked very miserable and very worrying. This bus carried 53 passengers plus a driver and a tour guide, totaling 55 people. According to reports from relevant departments, the traffic accident resulted in 1 death and 6 injuries. May the deceased rest in peace and the injured recover as soon as possible.

1: The tour bus was crossed two-thirds by the height-limiting pole. From the scene, we can see that the height-limiting pole was crossed by two-thirds of the car body during the accident. It was precisely because the bus was moving forward. It was about 6 meters, or 2/3 of the car, that caused such heavy casualties. We make an assumption that if the driver starts driving at a slow speed the moment he sees the railing and basically passes the railing at a speed of 0, then he can stop immediately when the front of the car hits the height limit fence, and this incident can be completely avoided. However, due to the driver's misjudgment, he believed that the height limit barrier was higher than the car, so he did not have the awareness to slow down. As a result, the car was unable to stop immediately due to inertia. In the end, the height limit barrier man directly crossed 2/3 of the car body and passed 2/3 of the passengers. From this, we can also judge that the injured passengers in this incident were all the first 2/3, and the last 1/3 passengers should be basically fine. If the rear 1/3 passengers are injured, it should be caused by the inertia of crawling forward. According to relevant reports, the bus driver was taken away on the spot, and the cause of the accident is still under investigation.

Two: Is the height of the height limit pole reasonable?

After this accident, the height of the height limit pole has also attracted everyone's attention. According to the accident scene, we can find that the height limit pole is very close to the heads of passengers, about 30-40cm lower than the height of the bus. And because it was dark when the bus approached the height limit pole, the bus driver failed to see the height limit clearly, which led to the accident. In response to this incident, the bus driver may not have been driving carefully and was not familiar with the road conditions, and the design of the height limit pole did not seem to be so reasonable. The two conditions combined led to this serious traffic accident. According to relevant records, this is not the first time that a vehicle has hit a high-limit pole. Similar traffic accidents have occurred in many places. Therefore, after this accident, the design of the height-limit pole triggered discussions among netizens who believed that the height-limit pole should be a driving-limiting device. , but it frequently leads to traffic accidents, it can be called a new "dark night traffic killer", especially for heavy vehicles such as buses and trucks, which should attract the attention of relevant departments. The author also hopes that after this accident, the height limit pole can be improved to avoid similar traffic accidents from happening again. We cannot afford such a high price a few times.

Three: The driver should drive with all his heart. If he is not familiar with the road conditions, check the road conditions before driving

? According to relevant reports, the driver may be unfamiliar with the road conditions and drive inappropriately. Serious situation. If the driver is really unfamiliar with the road conditions and driving carelessly, then there is no doubt that this incident has a certain relationship with the driver. One person was killed and six others were injured because of one person's "distraction". The price is too high. This driver They should be severely punished to bring justice to the dead and injured. Secondly, we must also gain something from this incident. The next time we encounter a height limit pole, if it is a bus or a large vehicle, we should pay attention and try to slow down and drive as much as possible. If we can't pass, don't force it to pass to avoid unnecessary traffic accident. ?This traffic accident has taught everyone a profound lesson. I hope everyone will pay full attention when driving, check the route when going out and be familiar with it, and try to go out and get home safely as much as possible. We also hope that the issue of height limit poles can be taken seriously and rectifications can be made to avoid similar traffic accidents.
