On January 7, Cheng Moucai drove a heavy-duty semi-trailer tractor truck to load sand and gravel in Wannianqing Shangbao Mining Co., Ltd., Leping City, Jiangxi Province, and transported it to Nanchang County, Nanchang City.
At that time, a fence was installed on the tailgating of the cargo compartment of the car, and the fence exceeded the height of the truck compartment by about 300 mm, and the vehicle was in a state of overloading and overloading.
At about 0:39 on January 8, a funeral procession gathered to worship in the Taoling Village section of Youlan Town, Nanchang County.
The truck driven by Cheng Moucai did not take effective safety avoidance measures and drove into the funeral crowd at excessive speed. The overrun and overload led to a decrease in braking performance, and 17 people died on the spot, 3 people died after rescue efforts, and 19 people were injured due to continuous collisions.
The investigation report recommends that the driver of the vehicle, Cheng Moucai, the actual owner of the vehicle, and the direct manager be investigated for criminal responsibility.
