However, whether the accident was caused solely by the driver's misconduct requires further investigation to confirm. In this accident, 20 people were killed and 19 others were injured.
In this accident, some customs and routines in the funeral procession may also have had a certain impact on the occurrence of the accident. In China's folklore, funeral travel is a solemn ceremony, and the participants include filial sons and grandchildren, relatives and friends. During the funeral procession, the funeral family members and relatives and friends will set off firecrackers, scatter paper money, and burn a large amount of paper money as a ritual to pay tribute to the deceased. At the same time, filial sons and grandsons will bow down and weep to show respect for the deceased. The whole funeral procession starts from the door of the house, and on the way, the principal will issue a verbal order, asking the filial sons and grandsons to kneel and weep. Then, a special person is responsible for scattering the paper money, and the funeral procession marches all the way to the crematorium. This custom ritual is especially common in rural areas.
These customs and routines are not only an expression of the funeral procession, but also a kind of psychological comfort and remembrance of the deceased. However, in this accident, the customs of the funeral procession and the overloading and overweight of the drivers of the cart formed a hidden danger.
