Recently, the Pinghe Road Service Station of the Zhangzhou Road Service Center received a notice from the Road Network Center that a small truck rollover accident occurred about 1,066 kilometers from Zhangzhou to Guangdong on the Yongguan Expressway.
Zhang Jiabin, a road attendant on duty, and his colleagues rushed to the scene and saw that a small truck rolled over in the left overtaking lane, with obvious collision marks on the front of the car, the hood was bent, the front windshield was cracked, the left rear wheel was missing, and a large number of oranges were scattered in the main lane and emergency lane.
Since there was no warning sign behind the pickup truck, the rescuers immediately carried out control work and asked the driver, Master Chen, to evacuate to a safe place outside the guardrail.

Soon, the rescuers worked together to straighten the pickup truck and help Master Chen pick up the oranges that had fallen on the road, helping him to reduce the loss as much as possible.
Faced with this scene, Master Chen regretted it. It turned out that he was carrying about a ton of oranges that day, starting from Pinghe, Zhangzhou, and preparing to transport them to Shantou, Guangdong Province for sale.

Master Chen said that after getting out of the car, he found that the left rear tire had a puncture, and the tire flew away after the collision. Only then did he remember that because he was busy running transportation, the vehicle had not been maintained for a long time, and the tires were estimated to be too old to burst.
The staff helped pick up the oranges, the picture was provided by the highway department.
Subsequently, the rescuers helped Master Chen recover the tires and towed the faulty vehicle to the safety of the exit of the Lingtongshan toll station, and reminded Master Chen that the remaining tires of the vehicle were also relatively old and should be replaced as soon as possible.
The high-speed department reminds that the vehicle should be maintained regularly, and the old parts should be replaced in time to avoid the gains outweigh the losses after accidents.
