Did the bridge fracture caused by the mountain collapse of Yaxi Expressway cause any casualties?

Chengdu, Yaxi section of G5 Beijing-Kunming Expressway? The mountain at the exit of Yaoheba Tunnel in Xichang direction (asbestos to Liziping section) suddenly collapsed, and the earth and stone rolling down from the mountain directly washed away the expressway, resulting in the collapse of the bridge deck of the expressway below the mountain and the interruption of the two-way road. When the collapse accident occurred, the high-speed traffic police immediately rushed to the incident section for disposal. At present, all vehicles from Xichang to Chengdu have stepped diversion at Yihai security checkpoint and Liziping toll station of Yaxi Expressway, and all vehicles from Chengdu to Xichang have stepped diversion at Yaxi Expressway security checkpoint and Shimian toll station.

According to the police of the Sixth Branch of the Expressway Public Security Bureau of Sichuan Provincial Public Security Department, at present, through the observation and inspection of the on-site personnel, no casualties and vehicle damage were found in this mountain collapse accident. After the accident, the high-speed public security, high-speed law enforcement and highway companies held an emergency meeting, and during the meeting, they worked out a plan to get through this section of the highway. Because the bridge deck collapse in this section is very serious, it is impossible to predict the exact recovery time of this expressway for the time being. According to the weather forecast, it will continue to rain in this area in the next few days. The expressway company will set up isolation belts, lay anti-collision buckets, set up observation points at the out-of-bounds water damage points, add lighting to take turns on duty, and formulate on-site prevention and disposal plans before and after the debris flow rushes into the site.

All vehicles from Chengdu to Xichang will be diverted step by step at Yingxi Expressway Yingjing Security Station and Asbestos Toll Station. It is estimated that more than 30,000 vehicles will flood into western Vietnam. In order to further strengthen traffic control and guidance, Yuexi Traffic Police Brigade responded quickly to this, and all staff took up their posts, implemented specific control measures, strengthened road traffic order management, and made every effort to ensure road traffic safety. At the same time, the relevant departments are investigating potential safety hazards, strengthening or warning the places where heavy rainfall is prone to landslides and rock collapses, and strengthening inspections on road sections such as mountains, sharp bends, watersides and cliffs to find and eliminate road traffic safety hazards in time. Warning signs shall be set in front of sections that cannot be renovated for a while to guide vehicles to choose a reasonable bypass route.

According to the police of the Traffic Police Brigade of Shimian County Public Security Bureau, the exit of Yaoheba Tunnel in Shimian section of Yaxi Expressway is just above 108 national highway, and the collapsed bridge deck of the expressway just blocks the 108 national highway below, resulting in two-way traffic interruption on the national highway section. Next, the repair personnel will build a service road and clean up the earth and stone. Restore the national highway 108 to be basically unblocked as soon as possible. At the same time, the police also reminded car owners not to drive back and forth between Chengdu and Xichang in the near future to avoid being persuaded to return due to road control, and vehicles from Chengdu to Panzhihua should not choose Yaxi Expressway. Car owners need to plan other routes in advance.
