A new energy vehicle ran out of battery on the highway. Two people were hit and killed by a pushcart in the slow lane. It was only 500 meters away from the service area.

Recently, the Guangdong Traffic Police announced a heartbreaking highway traffic accident. On the day of the incident, Lin (pseudonym) was driving a new energy car with two passengers on a highway. When the vehicle was on the way, the battery ran out and it finally stopped in the slow lane.

However, later, Lin and a passenger got out of the car and tried to push the cart. When they pushed hard for about 20 meters, a truck driven by Sheng (pseudonym) drove from the same direction.

Due to the limited vision of the truck driver, he failed to detect the situation ahead in time and avoid it, and directly rear-ended the new energy car that was pushing the truck, causing injuries to Lin and passenger Chen, and damage to both vehicles to varying degrees. After the accident, two people died after rescue efforts failed.

After preliminary investigation, it was found that behind this tragedy was driver Lin's series of wrong decisions and luck.Before getting on the expressway, Lin told passengers that the vehicle had insufficient power and was expected to only be able to travel about 80 kilometers. At this time, for safety reasons, the passenger suggested going to the charging station to charge before setting off, but Lin did not take this reasonable suggestion to heart and insisted on continuing the journey.

During the journey, the vehicle passed two service areas one after another. Passengers repeatedly reminded Lin anxiously to enter the service area to charge to avoid possible dangers. But Lin still went his own way. Not only did he not stop to replenish energy, but he also took a chance and believed that the vehicle could last until the next service area.

But the reality is cruel. When the vehicle reaches the third service area,Only about 500 meters awayAt that time, I completely lost power and had no choice but to stop in the slow lane of the highway. And this pause paved the way for the subsequent tragedy.

Here, we solemnly remind drivers that they must be fully prepared in advance before driving a new energy vehicle on a high speed.
