On the 356.2-kilometer northbound section of National Highway 1, near Nanzi Interchange, an accident occurred around 10 a.m. this morning when an iron bar fell off a large truck. At least two cars behind were unable to dodge, and their tires directly rolled over the iron bar and blew out. Fortunately, no casualties were caused in the accident.

This morning, a netizen posted a video on a social platform, claiming that the car was traveling 356.2 kilometers northbound on National 1, and the centerline truck fell off wood (later confirmed to be an iron bar). A total of three cars, including him, were unable to dodge, and their tires were directly rolled over and punctured. The car stopped on the shoulder of the road and notified a tow truck. Since the vehicle's license plate was not captured by the driving recorder, we are calling on good Samaritans who have captured the vehicle to provide images.

A preliminary investigation by the National Highway Police Team 5 found that two car drivers were traveling on the road section where the incident occurred and caused the accident by rolling over scattered objects (metal products) dropped by an unknown vehicle number. No one was injured, and the alcohol test values ​​of each driver were 0. The CCTV and ETC image data of the road section will be reviewed to compare and trace the source of the dropped objects, and instructions for the arrival of the vehicles that dropped the objects will be notified.

The National Highway Police urges passers-by that the goods loaded by trucks driving on the highway should be tightly covered and tied firmly to avoid leakage, scattering, falling off, and falling, causing similar accidents and endangering the safety of themselves and other road users. If there is any violation, fines will be issued in accordance with the provisions of Article 30, Paragraph 1, Paragraph 2 of the Road Traffic Management Punishment Regulations, and the driver will be fined not less than 3,000 yuan but not more than 18,000 yuan.
