The cause of the accident was initially investigated by the police. The main reason was that the heavy-duty semi-trailer tanker driven by Xu was overloaded and speeding while driving continuously downhill. The center of gravity of the vehicle actually loaded with fly ash (marked as cement) was too high. Under the action of inertia, it tilted backward, causing the heavy-duty semi-trailer tank truck to turn left and collide with a bus traveling in the opposite direction, and then collided with a van and bus traveling in the opposite direction, leaving it too late to avoid it. After the accident, the local public security agency quickly launched an investigation and took control of the tanker driver Xu, the cargo loading company and the person in charge of the company. ?
After the accident, netizens couldn’t help asking: Who should be responsible for the injured or the deceased? In this regard, some lawyers said that if the driver is intentional or grossly negligent, the driver and the unit should bear joint liability and compensate accordingly according to the proportion of liability divided by the traffic police. In terms of criminal liability, the driver was suspected of causing a traffic accident. According to relevant judicial regulations, the driver responsible for the accident in this case is likely to bear primary or even full responsibility; in addition, Xu's company failed to perform its safety management duties, causing a major traffic accident. Civil compensation for casualties mainly includes medical expenses, lost wages, living expenses for dependents, death compensation, etc. , generally the insurance company will compensate within the insurance liability limit; the shortfall will be borne by the driver and his company.
No matter what the final result is, the accident has happened. What we can do is to take warning, strengthen management, expand the scope of education, and make the majority of driver friends realize the importance and necessity of obeying traffic laws.
