A car in Jiangxi rushed into the Yangtze River after boarding a ship, killing two people. The cause of the accident was wrong. When the accelerator was used as a brake, the two sons and grandson fell into the river and there were no railings on the boat. Finally, due to the speed, the slide ended up in the river. The specific cause of the accident is still under investigation. The driver was a 55-year-old grandfather who was taking his 12-year-old granddaughter out to play. Netizens speculated that he may have stepped on the wrong brake.
On the morning of October 1, at Xingang Ferry, some staff were arranging the location of vehicles, but in the sight of the staff, a white car fell from the deck into the river. At that time, according to the video, crews were dredging other vehicles and slowing down to get on board. But the car fell into the river relatively quickly. After discovering that they had fallen into the river, local personnel contacted relevant local departments to conduct relevant search and rescue efforts, but after the staff finally salvaged them, the people in the car died.
It can be seen from the surveillance footage of the ferry at the scene that the incident occurred at around 8 a.m. on October 1. At Jiujiang Xingang Ferry, ferry staff are organizing boarding vehicles to dock safely and orderly. However, during this time, a white car passed the boat at high speed, driving from one end of the boat to the other without any sign of slowing down. When the car lost control and rushed to the other end of the boat, it seemed to avoid other vehicles parked in the middle. Finally, the white car crashed across the deck and fell into the river at high speed.
Because it happened so suddenly, everyone present was stunned. Responding staff immediately jumped into the water to perform rescue operations. Leaders of relevant departments also attached great importance to it and rushed to the scene immediately, personally commanded, and mobilized relevant departments to immediately carry out rescue operations and salvage vehicles that fell into the water. There were two people in the bus. One is a teenage girl and the other is a middle-aged man in his fifties. The man is the girl's grandfather. It is estimated that the grandfather took his granddaughter out to play during the holidays, but unfortunately such a tragedy happened, which is heartbreaking.
Why are there such careless people in life? Especially for dangerous cars, middle-aged people are not as quick and flexible as young people. Once in danger, they cannot take timely measures to save themselves and end up in danger. I hope you can use this incident to remind your relatives that when driving, you must distinguish between the accelerator and the brake. It's not too dangerous on normal roads, but in this dangerous place or somewhere like a mountain road, stepping on the wrong foot can really kill someone.
