In hot summer days, refrigerated trucks are usually used to transport fresh fruits and vegetables or frozen food to ensure that they can maintain their best condition under high temperature.
Unexpectedly, some people dare to use refrigerated car passengers. The most important thing is that some people dare to sit!
At about 22:00 on the evening of June 15, a sad accident occurred in Henan: a light refrigerated van with the license plate of YuDJ103F carried 8 people illegally, and 8 people died of suffocation due to lack of oxygen in the carriage.
The accident happened late at night. Many people may have fallen asleep, but the eight passengers closed their eyes forever.
According to the witness Mr. Tang, he was preparing to go to the gas station in Hongzhuang Yang Town, Ye County, 500 meters away from the exit of Pingdingshan Station of Lannan Expressway to refuel that night, when he happened to see a car parked on the roadside, the door of the car was wide open, and the driver stood beside the car, sweating and looking uneasy.
Out of kindness, Mr. Tang and other drivers came forward one after another to ask the driver if he needed help
However, when they walked into the van, they were shocked by what they saw.
There were many people lying in the carriage. Count carefully, and there were 8 people. All of them were motionless and could not wake up. They were in a deep coma.
The driver immediately called the emergency number when he found that the 8 people had been involved in an accident, and then waited anxiously beside the car, waiting for the arrival of rescue workers. His anxiety was understandable.
Later, 120 rushed to the scene, but because 8 people were seriously injured, they were forced to declare dead after 5 hours of rescue in the hospital.
Eight fresh lives have disappeared in a short time, like a nightmare, which is unbelievable.
People can't help asking why refrigerated trucks carry passengers? What's in it?
According to local insiders, the dead were women who worked in the cattle farm in the town.
One of them is over 50 years old, and the other seven are all over 40 years old. Their departure means that eight families will no longer have mothers. It's worrying to think about it.
I don't know why they took refrigerated trucks at that time, but since they are cattle farm employees, this refrigerated truck must be the factory's own vehicle!
The insider further revealed that the compartment not only carries people, but also contains dry ice. As a result, the leakage of carbon dioxide and the good sealing of the refrigerator car make the air in the compartment become thinner rapidly.
Unconsciously, the 8 women were suffering from hypoxia, and their bodies were soft, finally they were unconscious.
In fact, the time from getting on the bus to finding their death was only 30 minutes, which meant that the departure and destination were not too far away. Otherwise, drivers and passengers will not take risks and choose this dangerous way to travel.
However, accidents are always so ruthless that they do not give people any time to prepare. They often fall apart in an instant.
When the event was exposed by the media, there was a great uproar on the Internet.
"If you want to share a car, you want to save some money. The lorry driver probably wants to earn some money for cigarettes. Ordinary containers should be OK, but this kind of sealing is too good. It is not enough to go in for a few minutes. After a long time, the air will still be thin. Maybe nobody expected it."
"My God, what did the driver think? Those eight people dare to enter..."
"How can you sit when there is no ventilation?"
"I didn't expect that such a low-level safety accident could occur today in the 21st century!"
"If you carry people in violation of regulations, the insurance will not be paid, and this truck driver's life will be ended."
"It should be suffocation. When people inside feel wrong, they can't even make phone calls."
"I used to pull people, but I pulled the door with a rope or turned on the refrigerator to blow the air, and beat the car when I felt uncomfortable. Fortunately, they were all short. I really didn't dare to do that in the future."
With the fermentation of public opinion, the media have stepped in to investigate.
Some media contacted Ye County police and asked about the latest progress of this matter. The other side said: "We have set up a joint investigation team at the first time to conduct an in-depth investigation of the incident. At present, truck drivers and relevant responsible persons have been controlled, and we will investigate their responsibilities according to law."
The amount of economic compensation is certainly not a small amount. Besides, the truck driver has subjective violations and no insurance company to cover them. The only thing waiting for him is a dark prison.
What's the use of accountability after the event? No matter how much the compensation is or how many years the driver is sentenced to, these eight lives will never go home again.
The illegal carrying of people by refrigerated vehicles is not only a disregard for the rules, but also an underestimate of the value of life.
The tragedy has been caused, leaving us not only regret, but also profound reflection. Each of us should realize that life safety is above everything, and ensure the legal compliance of production activities and daily behaviors.
In addition, this incident also exposed the plight of some migrant workers in travel. Improving their traffic conditions and providing a safe, convenient and economical way to commute are practical problems that society should pay attention to and solve.
As for the dead, we should not only mourn, but also take this as a lesson. Life cannot be repeated. May this tragedy no longer become the news of tomorrow, and let the seeds of security awareness take root in everyone's heart!
