Baijiahao description (in english)
On April 19, many old iron people sent two videos of fire after the car accident. At that time, it was creepy, especially when the fire gradually engulfed the car body and the driver struggled but could not escape, which was shocking. Originally, I wanted to complain a few words, but the next day was a high-profile grand event in Baoding City, which could not add to the good atmosphere, so I still chose to remain silent. On the 20th, the car accident was fermented through many social platforms. Since there was no pressure of "out-of-the-head bird", let's come out and bubble.
Picture: The accident that occurred in Gaobeidian was widely spread by social platforms. It can be seen that even under the fierce jet of fire extinguishers, the momentum of the fire could not be stopped.
According to insiders, the incident was located on the Zhang Benying Bridge on Zhuobai Road, Gaobeidian, Baoding. On the afternoon of the 19th, a white car first collided with a normal truck at the opposite speed, and then collided with a box of cargo and collided with the pier. In just a few minutes, the front of the white car began to catch fire. The surrounding audience tried to rescue with fire
extinguishers, but it was difficult to stop the rapidly spreading fire. Finally, they could only watch the car being swallowed up by the fire.
According to the description of the truck driver involved, there was a man and a woman in the car. Both of them were just adults and the beginning of their brilliant life, but they were forever frozen because of a completely avoidable car accident.
Picture: The fire completely engulfed the car. The truck driver said that he had tried to rescue, but failed, and sighed.
The driver in the camera was still shocked when describing what had happened. Although he was driving normally, the shadows brought by the tragic car accident were difficult to remove in the short term. From the discovery of a white car driving backwards to a head-on collision, the whole process was only less than 3 seconds. It was difficult for anyone to respond effectively in such a hasty time. Fortunately, this is a large enough truck. If it is a small car of the same class, facing such a violent impact, I'm afraid it will be caused by a car accident. The consequences will be more serious.
Picture: After carefully checking the driving video, it took only 3 seconds from seeing this white car to the traffic accident, and there were obviously no vehicles in the normal driving lane next to it. This wave of operation of the driver was a little unbelievable.
Adulthood does not mean maturity. The concept of safe driving and rapid emergency response require accumulated precipitation over time. Before becoming a veteran driver, please hold the steering wheel tightly and have mercy on your feet. The accelerator is connected not only to the engine, but also to the lifeline of you and others.
The grief caused by this tragic accident is irreparable, but it is hoped that it will serve as a sufficient warning. Indeed, nowadays, science and technology are rapidly advancing, and car enterprises are all kinds of tricks. There are endless brands designed for young people with fast start, fast acceleration and image. However, for the parents of "capital investors", before your sweetheart is not enough to understand the meaning of "steady", please try to choose a brand with strong safety performance and driving Stable models, a little "meat", sometimes it is not a bad thing.
Slowing down is not cowardice, but the greatest awe of life.

图:发生在高碑店的这场事故，被社交平台广泛传播，可以看到，即便在灭火器的猛烈 喷射下，依然无法阻挡大火的势头。 据知情者透露，事发地位于保定高碑店涿白路的张贲营大桥，19日下午，一辆白色轿⻋
先是⻜速逆行与正常行驶的大货⻋相撞，随即又与一辆箱货碰撞后撞上桥墩。短短几分 钟的工夫，白色轿⻋的⻋头处开始起火，围观众人试图用灭火器实施救援，但难以阻止 迅速蔓延的火势，最终只能眼睁睁看着轿⻋被大火吞噬。 根据涉事货⻋司机的描述，轿⻋内共有一男一女两人，都是刚刚成年的岁数，人生灿烂 年华的起步，却因为一场本来完全可以避免的⻋祸而永远定格。
图:大火彻底将小轿⻋吞噬，货⻋司机表示，自己曾试图进行救援，但没有成功，一声 叹息。 镜头中的司机在描述事情经过时依然惊魂未定，虽然是正常行驶，但惨烈⻋祸所带来的 阴影恐怕短期内难以消除了。从发现逆行驶来的白⻋到迎面相撞，整个过程仅仅不到3 秒，任何人都难以在如此仓促的时间内做出有效反应，不幸中的万幸，这是一辆体型足 够庞大的货⻋，如果是一辆同级别的小轿⻋，面临如此猛烈的撞击，恐怕⻋祸造成的后 果会更加严重。
图:仔细查看了行⻋录像，从看⻅这辆白色小轿⻋到发生交通事故，才3秒钟的时间， 而旁边正常行驶的⻋道明明没有⻋辆，对于驾驶员的这波操作，有点匪夷所思 成年，不代表成熟，安全的驾驶理念和迅速的应急反应需要日积月累的沉淀，在成为一 名老司机之前，请握紧方向盘，脚下留情，油⻔连接的不仅仅是发动机，还是你和他人 的生命线。 这起惨烈事故带来的哀伤已经无可挽回，但希望能够起到足够的警示意义。的确，如今 科技⻜速进步、⻋企花样百出，针对年轻人设计的起步快、提速快、形象拉⻛的品牌层 出不穷，然而对于“出资方”的家⻓来说，当你的心肝宝⻉尚不足以明白“稳重”的含义 前，请尽量选择安全性能较强、开着比较稳当的⻋型，“肉”一点，有时候不是件坏事。 减速慢行不是懦弱，是对生命最大的敬畏。
