Due to the rain, not many students were traveling, but on Saturday morning, large numbers of students surged towards the city center. Around 10 a.m., at the intersection between Nanjing University of Posts and Telecommunications and Nanjing University of Finance and Economics, a normally operating bus No. 97 was hit sideways by a red-light-running construction truck. The number of casualties is unclear. However, most passengers on the bus were students from Nanjing University of Posts and Telecommunications and Nanjing University of Chinese Medicine... This intersection only has traffic lights, but no surveillance cameras, so illegally operated black cars and construction trucks in the university town frequently run red lights.
After the accident, a large number of traffic police arrived on the scene along with tow trucks, which towed away the severely deformed bus No. 97 and the construction truck whose cab was crushed.
