Chapter 258 This isn't my fault.
Lin Lao Er also got out of the car. It was pitch black all around, and fearing something might happen, Lao Er opened the trunk and took out a sickle.
When Dawei was attacked, the second brother hid the sickle under the seat.
Later, Director Liu from the logistics department said that this wouldn't work, as it didn't comply with the driver's team's management regulations; hiding it in the trunk would suffice.
The second son followed closely behind Director Wu, his hand holding the sickle hidden behind his back.
Using his car's headlights as a guide, Wu Maocai approached the two vehicles that had collided: "What happened?"
The truck driver, his face etched with anxiety, had just finished speaking with 120 (the emergency number): "I was climbing a hill, and he was driving a truckload of sweet potatoes downhill at full speed. He couldn't brake in time and crashed into me head-on..."
The truck driver circled the tricycle, somewhat desperate: "Why the rush!"
They didn't even slow down on such a big bend.
That's good now.
They've probably lost their lives, haven't they?
"It's gone, so why did you have to hurt me?"
The driver was on the verge of a breakdown, jumping up and down twice, his voice growing increasingly agitated.
Why are you doing this so fast!
Why are you doing this so quickly?
After jumping, she squatted on the ground, buried her head in her hands, and cried.
Wu Maocai went over to observe the male driver on the tricycle and put his hand on his neck to test him.
The person is gone.
This truck driver is in trouble.
"Try to restrain yourself, there's a tripod in the car, right?"
Take it down.
Put the tripod in front.
Wu Maocai pointed downhill in the direction the tricycle had come from.
The fear is that a chain reaction of accidents could occur, which would place even greater responsibility on the truck driver.
The truck driver was numb and could only sob.
Lin Yunxing got on the truck, found the tripod, and set it up about 60 or 70 meters behind the tricycle.
Then he ran further ahead, grabbed an ice cream cone from the ground of a neighbor's house, placed it a dozen meters away from the tripod, and only then did he feel at ease returning.
Traffic police, medical personnel, and others arrived quickly.
The traffic policeman got out of the car, recognized Wu Maocai, and thought that Wu Maocai's car had been in an accident. He was immediately puzzled and saluted Wu Maocai.
"Director Wu..."
Wu Maocai pointed to the truck driver squatting by the roadside: "The driver who caused the accident is over there."
The traffic police officer immediately breathed a sigh of relief and walked up to the driver who caused the accident: "Show me your documents."
The driver who caused the accident stood up in a panic: "It's not my fault."
He failed to slow down while going downhill and is also suspected of overloading.
Moreover, there are problems with this section of the national highway.
The road to Bogong'ao is notoriously difficult to travel.
There are car accidents every month, and people die every year.
How does your Yuanshan County government do its job?
"Couldn't we install some streetlights? Couldn't we put more convex mirrors at the corners?"
The truck driver knew he had killed someone and was doomed, so he became somewhat emotionally distraught.
The traffic police officer handling the case had seen this many times before, so he ignored him, simply gesturing for the driver to calm down before pressing the button on his walkie-talkie.
"Duty Room".
There was a traffic accident at the third bend downhill from Bogong'ao, with injuries and fatalities. Please have the police from the local station come over.
Traffic police are coordinating the situation.
The truck driver, who was about to take out his ID, became even more frightened when he heard that the police were coming and that they were going to arrest him.
He stopped taking out his ID and walked straight toward Wu Maocai.
"Look how much they respect you, even calling you director."
You must be an official in the county, right?
You be the judge, speak up for me!
Can this be entirely my fault?
The truck driver's eyes were red with anxiety.
Lin Yunxing became alert. It is said that a person's eyes are black, but their heart is red.
What many people don't know is that once a person's eyes turn red, their heart will turn black.
Lin Yunxing stepped forward and blocked Wu Maocai from stopping the truck driver.
The truck driver ignored Lin Yunxing and headed straight for Wu Maocai. He even tried to push Lin Yunxing aside, but when he couldn't, he went around her and got to Wu Maocai.
"Director Wu, right? Why don't you talk to them?"
Why should I bear all of this?
Doesn't your county government bear any responsibility at all?
Doesn't that tricycle driver bear any responsibility at all?
Wu Maocai also realized the problem and took two steps back: "Now that things have come to light, just cooperate with the investigation and don't get agitated."
The truck driver suddenly reached out and grabbed Wu Maocai's collar: "I'll show you what to say!"
Is it all my fault?
I've had enough bad luck already.
Three children are in school, and my mother is ill.
Why is everyone bullying me?!
Wu Maocai dodged his hand and kept retreating towards the roadside, where there was a drainage ditch and nowhere to go.
"Nobody's bullying you. It's just a normal investigation, going through the motions..."
The truck driver wouldn't listen and reached out to grab Wu Maocai by the neck.
Seeing that this was going to cause trouble, Lin Yunxing swept his leg from behind the truck driver and pushed his shoulder in another direction, knocking the truck driver down in one fell swoop.
The traffic police arrived immediately, pressed their knees against the driver's back, and shouted, "Behave yourself."
The matter hasn't even been investigated yet, what are you doing making a scene here?
If you mess around again, you'll regret it.
The traffic policeman gave Lin Yunxing a look, signaling him to quickly take Director Wu away.
Lin Yunxing pulled the panicked Director Wu into the car and drove away.
After crossing Bogong Pass, the road becomes easier to walk.
Lin Yunxing glanced at the rearview mirror and saw Wu Maocai's gloomy face: "Director Wu, don't be sad, it's all fate."
In fact, Wu Maocai was not sad; he felt more self-blame and unease.
The road to Bogong'ao is indeed prone to accidents every year.
City leaders have also criticized it many times.
The county and town leaders emphasize and promote traffic safety every month.
At that time, County Chief Qiao allocated some funds specifically to repair the national highway section of Bogong'ao, and added some streetlights and convex mirrors, as well as many warning signs and surveillance cameras.
But not long after these things were installed, Mad was stolen by the villagers and sold as scrap.
What's even more infuriating is that some tire repair shops scatter nails on the national highway, disregarding people's lives for a few bucks.
The surrounding area is inhabited by indigenous people, most of whom are not very educated. In the old society, this road was dangerous, and robberies often occurred.
The local people are known for their fierce and unruly nature, making governance a major challenge.
However, this cannot be used as an excuse for the national highways being in disrepair and neglected for many years.
The successive county party committees and governments of Yuanshan County do indeed bear inescapable responsibility.
Witnessing this car accident today has left Wu Maocai deeply uneasy.
"What's done is done, there's no point in being sad." Wu Maocai sighed softly. "What's important now is to find ways to reduce or avoid similar situations from happening again as much as possible."
"You're right, this road has been a major problem for a long time. If a highway were built, some trucks and cars would be diverted, which might help."
Upon hearing this, Wu Maocai nodded solemnly and said, "You're right."
Therefore, the longer you spend time with some people, the more you will admire them.
County Magistrate Chen is farsighted, has remarkable courage, and cares deeply about the people of the remote mountain county.
Everyone knows highways are good and should be built.
But no one dared to take the lead.
Only County Chief Chen… Only County Chief Chen…”
