What happened:
On July 8 this year, a morning running group composed of middle-aged and elderly people in Linyi, Shandong Province was hit by a taxi about 30 meters away from the finish line 22 minutes later, causing one death and two injuries. Linyi traffic police reported that at 5: 22 on July 8, a traffic accident occurred 50 meters east of the intersection of He Sui North Street and Linxi 12th Road in lanshan district, Linyi City. Taxi driver Dong Mou collided with pedestrians Ding Mou, Wang Mou and Shang Mou who were doing morning exercises due to improper operation, causing Ding Mou, Wang Mou and Shang Mou to be injured and died after being rescued.
Many members who participated in the "runaway group" admitted to occupying the motorway, but stressed that there was "no way out" due to road construction. After the incident, the driver was criminally detained by the police. Accordingly, the second brigade directly under the traffic police detachment of Linyi responded to the Beijing News reporter that both sides were involved in illegal situations and the police had strengthened road monitoring.
According to media reports, after the incident, the hiking activities of the "runaway group" were held normally, and all members wore fluorescent uniforms. In the evening, Xu Guilin, the head of the "Runaway Group" and the president of Linyi Shan Ying Sports Association, told me that the association had asked all its running and hiking teams not to exercise on the road (including motor vehicle lanes and non-motor vehicle lanes) and suggested moving to a safer place. In addition, Xu Guilin said that if a team violates the above regulations and still "goes on the road" to exercise, it will be dismissed and the team number will be cancelled.
