The roadside security camera recorded an image of an accident that happened at 7:41 am on March 31, attracting the attention of netizens.

According to the clip, there are many vehicles on the highway, from the branch road there is a blue 5-seater car moving out and entering the main road. Just then a truck came from behind.

Seeing the car ahead, the truck braked suddenly, so it lost control. The truck slid and turned sideways onto the road, its head hitting the oncoming container truck in the opposite direction.

The driver of the container truck steered to the right, ramming a pile of broken old tires and a signboard that was erected on the roadside.

The accident is causing netizens to argue whose fault it is. Many people believe that the initial cause is that the 5-seater car entering the lane from the branch road did not comply with the traffic law to give way to the car going straight. But there are also some people who think that the truck was going fast, did not control the speed, so it braked quickly, leading to the accident.

“The branch road to the main road is not observed, and the truck does not slow down. The container is unremarkable”;

“There should be a law on the crime of murder for those who go on the side road to the main road without observing, causing accidents to other vehicles”;

“The car going slowly around the corner is also neat. Obviously the truck going fast, the driver didn’t pay attention to the road, so he was startled, and the wet road was slippery, so it caused trouble for the public”;

“The truck has enough time, master the speed to brake. It’s sloppy on the road, now it’s right or wrong, but it’s okay to lose money”;

“In terms of the law, the man who drove the car to the fork without observing when it was not safe enough turned, and the truck did not control the speed.”

The clip above is once again a lesson to help drivers when participating in traffic should observe carefully before entering the lane and calmly handle situations.
