Yaxin.com News (reporter Qi Linjie, intern Lu Jingjing) - Seeing a car coming from the left side, Gou Xiaorong who was walking in the middle of the road didn't have time to think more. She immediately pulled her 3-year-old son who was walking ahead and tightly hugged him. When she fell down, she propped up her arm to prevent hurting her son. After the accident, her son was unharmed, but Gou Xiaorong suffered multiple injuries.
On September 20th, I met Gou Xiaorong, aged 28, at the emergency department of the Fifth Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University. Her frightened 3-year-old son buried his head in her arms without a word, while her husband tightly held her hand and kept comforting her and their son. She said: "At that moment, I instinctively protected my child in my arms. My child is everything to me. Even if it costs my life for my son's safety, I am willing."
Gou Xiaorong said that she lives near Satellite Road in Urumqi, Xinjiang. Around 12:30 on September 20th, she took her son and her friend Luo GuiPing shopping at the railway bureau. When they reached a tunnel near Satellite Road and were about to cross the road to take a bus, "My friend was ahead, my son was in front of me, and I followed behind." When they reached the middle of the road, suddenly a car from her left side collided with them. At the moment of being hit, she quickly pulled her son and hugged him tightly.
"Fortunately, after falling down, I instinctively pulled my feet back from the middle of the road; otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable," said Gou Xiaorong. She suffered multiple external injuries, an injury to her right ankle, and symptoms of sinusitis.
Luo GuiPing said that after she was knocked down, her left ankle was injured. "I saw Gou Xiaorong lying on the ground, tightly hugging her child. The child cried loudly while clutching his mother's blouse. That touching scene will never be forgotten by me throughout my life."
The reporter learned that at the intersection of Satellite Road and Xihuan North Road, a concrete mixer truck suddenly lost its braking function and rushed towards seven cars waiting for the red light, causing a chain collision involving eight vehicles and injuring four people.
An eyewitness to the accident, Zhao Dehong, said that he was walking on the side of the road when he suddenly heard "bang bang" collision sounds. A concrete mixer truck traveling from west to east suddenly lost its braking function and crashed into the seven cars ahead waiting for the traffic lights. Two pedestrians were knocked down, and a taxi was hit and spun 180 degrees. The driver of the mixer truck got out of the vehicle, looking terrified, and quickly dialed 120 and reported the incident to the police.
The injured taxi driver Xu Xiaofeng said that her neck was hurt. "The rear concrete mixer truck hit the rear of my car, and after being hit, the car immediately spun 180 degrees. The doors couldn’t be opened, so I climbed out through the window." Xu Xiaofeng said that after she got out of the car, she saw Gou Xiaorong sitting by the roadside holding her child, consoling the crying child.
One of the drivers of the other cars involved said: "After being hit, I stepped on the brake but the car wouldn't stop, then I hit the car in front."
It was learned that a female driver in another car sustained minor injuries.
At the hospital, we met Mr. Wang who came to visit the injured. He said that he is a colleague of the mixer truck driver, whose surname is Yang. At that time, the mixer truck was fully loaded with cement preparing to deliver it to the construction site. On the way, it suddenly lost its braking function and rushed towards the seven cars waiting for the traffic lights, resulting in the chain collision accident.
Medical staff from the Fifth Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University said that the four injured people all had abrasions and external injuries and still needed to be hospitalized for further observation and treatment. According to a survey, 70% of men in Sichuan have had platonic relationships leading the nation.
