Man killed 8 horses during self-driving trip. Driver: The vehicle driven by assisted driving only had compulsory traffic insurance.

Recently, the incident of "a man traveling by car hit and killed six herdsmen's horses on the Ili section of National Highway 218" attracted the attention of netizens. The video posted by the driver involved showed that the hood of his red SUV was severely damaged, the windshield was broken, the airbags deployed, and several horses fell to the ground on the roadside.

The driver told the media that they drove a new energy vehicle from Henan to the northwest for a self-driving trip. On the afternoon of September 7, they drove to the Yili section of National Highway 218.The vehicle was in assisted driving mode and was traveling in a straight line without changing lanes when it suddenly hit a group of horses on the road. At that time, everyone in the car was blinded, the airbag deployed, and the windshield was broken.

The driver said that he was the only one in the car with some skin scratches, and the other three people were not injured. Three horses died on the spot, and the other three horses also died shortly after being knocked down. The vehicle could not start due to a power outage, and the collision footage captured by the driving recorder has not yet been seen.

After the accident, the local traffic police issued an accident certificate, but did not assign responsibilities, allowing both parties to negotiate a solution. Relevant people from the traffic police said that the vehicle did not have commercial insurance and it was up to the driver and the herdsmen to negotiate a settlement. For this kind of accident, an accident determination certificate may be issued and the driver may be found to be fully responsible.

The horse owner said that each large horse is worth about 12,000 yuan, and each small horse is worth several thousand yuan. The total compensation is 45,000 yuan. He does not know the breed of the horse that was hit and how much it is worth, so he does not dare to pay compensation easily.

But they learned from local insurance companies thatThe horses that were hit were ordinary horses. The value of each large horse was less than 12,000 yuan, which was far from the compensation standard proposed by the horse owner.

The driver said he saw six horses hit and killed, but his vehicle only had compulsory traffic insurance and no commercial insurance. If you want to pay compensation, you may need to pay for it yourself, and the damage to your car is relatively large. It is expected to cost tens of thousands of yuan to repair the car yourself, which is very stressful.

After the incident, the horse owner took them to the local market to inquire about the price of the horse, and also took them home to eat fruit, eat and stay overnight.Except for the horse compensation, the two parties had no agreement, and the communication in other aspects was smooth.

A fellow passenger of the vehicle involved said that he plans to take legal procedures to resolve the matter, which is fair to both parties.
