After preliminary investigation, the main causes of the accident were speeding, poor observation and improper operation, while the owner of the accident did not have problems such as drunk driving, drunk driving and poisonous driving. In fact, some local people say that many trucks in Huaibin County are actually Anhui licenses. There are two reasons for this. One is that Huaibin County is only 70 kilometers away from Fuyang City, Anhui Province, and more than double the distance from Xinyang City. It is convenient to hang Fuyang license plate for car inspection; The second reason is that the freight company in Fuyang has lower affiliated fees than that in Xinyang.
It is worth mentioning that the truck involved in the accident was a second-hand truck bought by the driver a few months ago, and it belongs to Fuyang Baisong Logistics Co., Ltd. In fact, the company is responsible for the safe operation of the truck. For example, the truck is equipped with GPS, and the security officer on duty should promptly remind the truck of speeding. This is also the reason why many related personnel of the company are controlled. For this accident, the driver should also bear the corresponding legal responsibility.
