On August 8th, an accident occurred at the 81km mark of the Qingdao-bound section of the Qingyin Expressway (Jinan-Qingdao section) where a truck fell off a bridge. A large truck broke through the right-hand guardrail while overtaking another vehicle and fell from a bridge that was 5 meters high. The driver was injured.
At around 6:00 AM, at the 81km mark of the Qingdao-bound section of the Qingyin Expressway, a box-type heavy-duty truck with a Weifang license plate crashed through the road's right-hand guardrail and fell into a ravine that was 5 meters deep. The truck's cab was severely damaged, its body ruptured, and nearly 500 boxes of chili sauce scattered outside the vehicle, completely submerging the entire cab. The driver was tightly trapped inside, his condition unclear.
Upon arrival at the scene, the police immediately collaborated with fire services and road administration personnel to clear the cargo box by box that had fallen on the cab. They then carefully separated the metal sheet that was stuck to the driver's legs using electric cutting tools. Meanwhile, they directed emergency medical personnel to stop the bleeding and bandage the head of the injured person, while coordinating with road administration personnel to maintain order at the scene and direct traffic. After more than an hour of effort, the injured person was successfully rescued and immediately sent to Gaomi Central Hospital. Due to timely rescue, the driver is now out of danger.
Subsequently, the police went to the hospital and promptly contacted the injured person's family. Upon questioning the injured driver Li Mou, it was learned that he was a driver for a logistics company in Weifang. That morning, he loaded chili sauce at the freight station and was preparing to deliver it to the Qingdao Port pier for shipment. When he reached the accident location, he noticed a large truck ahead occupying the overtaking lane and moving slowly. Li Mou decided to overtake the truck from the right side, but he turned the steering wheel too sharply. The truck broke through the right-hand guardrail, and despite his efforts to brake, it was no use as he helplessly watched the truck fall off the bridge.
