Generally, semi-trailers are used to pull heavy loads. Sometimes, a sudden brake may cause the object being pulled to rush out of the vehicle and cause a disaster due to inertia issues. Here is a real example: before 5 pm on the evening of the 6th, a serious traffic accident occurred on Qiutao North Road. A semi-trailer transporting steel had to brake urgently, and the steel loaded on the vehicle rushed forward due to inertia, squeezing the cab of the semi-trailer and causing the cab to touch the ground, And cause the driver to be injured and trapped.

The reporter saw on site that the semi-trailer was made of channel steel with soil on it. Witnesses reported that at the time of the incident, a small car with Zhejiang F license plate seemed to have scraped against a semi-trailer. However, the reporter did not find the small car at the scene.

After the accident, the traffic police department quickly arrived at the scene to maintain order, and the fire department dispatched Genshan and Special Service Squadrons to the scene for rescue. When the firefighting and rescue personnel arrived, the driver was lying inside the cab, with one hand exposed outside the cab. Firefighters first remove the doors on both sides of the cab and fix the cab structure with top rods. But because the weight of the channel steel pressed outside the driver's cab is too large, firefighters can only wait for the crane to arrive before conducting rescue operations.

During this time, firefighters discovered that the driver was still conscious and could respond to his calls. The driver said at the time that his neck was very uncomfortable and his chest was very tight. So, 120 emergency personnel administered some oxygen to the driver and used a thin tube to replenish his fluids.

When the crane arrived, the driver had already lost consciousness. The firefighters decisively entered the driver's cab and cleared out everything that could be dismantled. After the crane lifted the channel steel, the firefighters used a top pole to support the middle of the cab and a hydraulic expander to create a gap of more than 10 centimeters at the steering wheel, successfully rescuing the driver.

After being rescued, the driver was quickly sent to Run Run Shaw Hospital for rescue. The reporter learned from the driver's brother that the driver, Mr. Guo, is 33 years old and used to be a taxi driver. "Now he only has a heartbeat..." said Master Guo's brother. When the reporter left the hospital, Master Guo was still in the process of rescue.

Last night, the traffic police department issued an accident report stating that around 4:48 pm on January 12, 2017, Guo, driving a Zhejiang A4F0 * * heavy-duty semi-trailer (towing a Zhejiang AJ0 * * registered heavy-duty low flatbed semi-trailer), scraped against a Zhejiang F178 * * small sedan driven by Xu in the same direction while driving from north to south on Qiutao North Road to the Jingjiang Bridge deck. After the semi-trailer was braked, the channel steel loaded on the vehicle shifted forward and collapsed the cab of the semi-trailer tractor, causing Guo to be injured (now being rescued at Shaw Run Hospital, life-threatening) and two vehicles to be damaged in a traffic accident. At present, the accident is under further investigation.
