At approximately 11:59 a.m., a serious traffic accident occurred at an intersection in Pingyuan Town, Yanshan County. The vehicles involved were a heavy-duty semi-trailer truck and a Dongfeng eπ007 all-electric ride-hailing car. According to the official traffic accident determination issued by the Traffic Management Brigade of the Yanshan County Public Security Bureau, as well as surveillance footage of the incident, light rain had made the road slippery at the time of the accident. A truck driver surnamed Wang was reversing his heavy-duty semi-trailer truck in violation of traffic regulations when it violently collided with the front-right side of the Dongfeng eπ007, which was traveling normally. The impact caused the electric car to lose control and crash into roadside protective fencing. Surveillance footage shows that the eπ007 began emitting thick black smoke after the collision. The driver managed to escape through the driver's door. As the smoke intensified, he attempted to open the rear doors to rescue the passengers but was unsuccessful. Even his attempts to smash the windows with his elbow failed. The truck driver, Wang, rushed to the scene and joined the ride-hailing car driver in using rocks to smash the rear windows. A third passerby subsequently joined the rescue effort. However, the fire spread rapidly. Flames soon became visible in the rear passenger compartment. Despite the growing danger, Wang reached through the burning window and pulled out the trapped passengers. He eventually managed to rescue all three rear-seat passengers. Unfortunately, the front passenger could not be rescued in time because the door could not be opened and the fire spread too quickly. The passenger was pronounced dead. Within a short period, the entire vehicle was engulfed in flames. Despite the rescue team's efforts to extinguish the fire, it remained uncontrollable, and the car was eventually reduced to its bare frame. All three rear-seat passengers sustained burns of varying severity. Wang suffered severe burns to both hands and reportedly still has bandages on five fingers to prevent excessive scar tissue formation. His injuries are likely to prevent him from returning to his profession as a truck driver. The ride-hailing car driver sustained minor injuries. According to the traffic police investigation, Wang was primarily responsible for the accident due to illegal reversing, while the eπ007 driver, surnamed Dai, bore secondary responsibility for driving above the speed limit in rainy conditions.
