The crash was a huge shock to people and made us deeply aware of the dangers of driving in bad weather. Through this car accident, we need to reflect on and strengthen our awareness of traffic safety to avoid similar tragedies from happening again.

The section of the road where the incident occurred is located at Yuanping Station and Cuiyang Station in the direction of Datong in Xinzhou City, and it is the New Year's season, and the snow is flying. The heavy white snow made the road slippery and caused great trouble to the driver.
2.More than 40 vehicles collided in a row: At that time, more than 40 vehicles were piled up on the snow-covered highway, forming a dragon. Due to the inertia of the vehicle, a strong impact force was caused, and the vehicles collided with each other and the damage was serious.

Medical emergency vehicles, investigators and insurance company claims vehicles arrived, and rescuers worked together to move the injured and trapped to safety and take them to the hospital in a timely manner**.
1.Serial collisions caused by vehicles being too close together: One of the main causes of accidents is that vehicles are too close to each other. Due to the slippery road in snowy weather, the driver had difficulty controlling the vehicle and did not keep a safe distance when following the vehicle, resulting in a series of rear-end collisions.
2.Increased danger of driving in snowy weather: The road surface is icy in snowy conditions, and the vehicle is prone to loss of control, which greatly challenges the driver's ability to control. Even experienced drivers struggle to cope with unexpected situations, which inevitably increases the risk of accidents.

At the same time, some drivers do not develop good driving Xi, such as drunk driving, drug driving, speeding, etc., which will increase the likelihood of accidents.
1.Pay attention to weather information and choose the right travel time: In bad weather conditions, try to avoid unnecessary vehicle travel, especially in heavy snow, fog and other weather, the road conditions will become very poor, understand the weather information in advance, choose the right travel time, can reduce the occurrence of accidents.
2.Develop good driving Xi: Drivers should practice good driving Xi regardless of the weather. No drunk driving, drug driving, no fatigue driving, obeying traffic rules, maintaining a safe distance, and maintaining the technical condition of the vehicle in a timely manner are all effective means to reduce the risk of accidents.
3.Strengthen traffic safety publicity and education: We should strengthen the publicity and education of traffic safety, remind drivers to pay attention to safe driving, educate drivers to abide by traffic laws and regulations, enhance traffic safety awareness, and jointly create a safe and smooth road environment.
Through this catastrophic accident in which more than 40 vehicles collided in a row, we deeply felt the danger and importance of driving in snow. In heavy snowy weather, the road conditions are bad, so drivers should know the weather information in advance and choose the right time to travel. At the same time, we should develop good driving Xi, do not drink and drive, do not drive with drugs, pay attention to maintaining a safe distance and driving operation, and ensure the safety of ourselves and others. Publicity and education should also be strengthened, traffic safety awareness should be enhanced, and a safe and smooth road environment should be jointly created. Finally, we express our deep condolences to the deceased, wish the injured as soon as possible, and call on all drivers and friends to pay attention to safety at all times, bring home safely, and let our families reunite is the happiest thing.
