It is difficult to return home on the highway back to the hometown

Mondo Social Updated on 2024-02-04

On February 2, the small year in the north arrived as scheduled, however, a wide range of low temperatures, rain, snow and freezing weather were still raging. It was supposed to be a day for families to gather together, but it was overshadowed by this sudden extreme weather. Meng Ziqi, who originally planned to set off from Hefei on February 1 and drive back to his hometown in Sichuan, had to drive carefully in such weather.

On the Kyotai Expressway, heavy snow falls, and the road surface becomes extremely slippery. Meng Ziqi witnessed several traffic accidents caused by icy roads, and many vehicles crashed into the green belt on the side of the road because their tires lost their grip. To be on the safe side, she had to slow down and drive carefully, not daring to step on the accelerator easily.

According to the forecast of the ** Meteorological Observatory, from February 2, the cold air from the north will converge with the warm and humid airflow from the south, causing a wider range and more intense rain, snow and freezing weather. Freezing rain of this magnitude is rare in the history of both Hubei and Anhui provinces, and it is the most severe disaster in Hunan province since 2008.

At the peak of the Spring Festival travel season, people are desperate to return home, but in the face of such bad weather, safety is obviously the primary consideration. In order to ensure driving safety, the entrances to many highways in Anhui Province have been temporarily closed, including parts of the Hexu Expressway, Chuxin Expressway and Benghe Expressway. In addition, more than eighty percent of toll booths in Henan province have also been closed.

In such weather conditions, a car owner named Ms. Meng was involved in a car accident on the highway. At the time, she was driving at 70 yards, but couldn't stop the car because the road was slippery and the brake system was out of order. Although none of the airbags in front of the car were deployed, fortunately, Ms. Meng was not injured. Recalling the scene at that time, Ms. Meng said with palpitations: "At that time, my brain was blank, my heart was beating faster, and my legs were weak. ”

In such bad weather, the journey home for many people has become extremely difficult. A young man who drove from Guangzhou to Hubei said: "My only wish is to go home as soon as possible. However, the journey in Hubei province was unusually smooth, and frequent traffic jams and traffic accidents made her trip extremely difficult. Her car only lasts four hours, and the navigation shows that it will take three hours to get out of the traffic jam. In such a predicament, many people's mood becomes anxious and impatient. In this rain, snow and freezing weather, we should remain calm and rational. Safety comes first, and no matter how difficult the journey home, we should put safety first. I hope that this rain, snow and freezing weather can pass as soon as possible, so that everyone can go home safely and reunite. February** Dynamic Incentive Program
