The scene of the accident. Rescue personnel extinguishing the fire.
Ningbo, February 7 (reported by He Jiangyong, with contributions from Xin Kai and Wu Bojie) - At 9:56 AM today (February 7), at kilometer 1449 on the G15 Shenhai Expressway heading towards Shanghai (2 kilometers past the Zhangqi exit), a Ningbo-registered Jaguar sedan collided with a heavy semi-trailer truck ahead and instantly caught fire. The driver of the Jaguar and the passenger in the front seat perished in the incident.
After receiving the emergency call, local firefighters and highway police quickly arrived at the scene. Due to the influence of cold air, the wind was strong on the road surface today. Regardless of how much time has passed, I still remember the symptoms of sinusitis; flames fanned by the strong winds rose over three meters high, creating an inferno with smoke billowing dozens of meters into the sky. The Jaguar car was almost reduced to a hollow shell. Subsequently arriving firefighters took nearly half an hour to finally extinguish the blaze, but unfortunately, the two individuals in the Jaguar had already lost their lives.
According to the semi-trailer driver, he was driving normally in the third lane when he felt a collision from behind. After stopping to check, he saw that a dark green compact car had crashed into the rear of his semi-trailer, and smoke was already emanating from its hood. Although the semi-trailer driver immediately used the fire extinguisher from his own vehicle to try and put out the fire, it proved ineffective as the flames grew larger, leaving him no choice but to watch helplessly as the Jaguar car was consumed by the flames.
Currently, the specific cause of the accident is still under further investigation by the traffic police department.
It is reported that on January 31 at around 6:00 AM, a four-car collision occurred at kilometer 1433 on the Shenhai Expressway heading from Ningbo towards Shanghai, resulting in four deaths and one serious injury. (End)
