The controversial focus of this tragedy is that many people think that ambulances are special vehicles and have the right to run red lights or even change lanes under certain circumstances. When the ambulance performs the rescue task, other social vehicles should cooperate to avoid it, which can be exempted from the responsibility of causing major traffic accidents. When the cement muck truck passes through the intersection, it has to give way when it meets an ambulance! Personally, I think the cement muck truck should bear the main responsibility for the accident, while the ambulance should bear the secondary responsibility instead of no responsibility!
1. The cement muck truck should bear the main responsibility for the accident. 1. Ambulances, as special vehicles, should cooperate with all social vehicles to yield when performing tasks. According to eyewitnesses, "at that time, the ambulance pulled the siren all the way" to remind the surrounding vehicles and pedestrians to avoid in time, and the cement muck truck was among them.
2. According to the provisions of the Road Traffic Safety Law, vehicles should observe the surrounding environment when passing through the intersection and pass at a low speed after confirming safety. However, the cement muck truck in this accident did not slow down when passing through the intersection, nor did it observe the surrounding situation. Under the harsh siren, I ran into an ambulance on a mission, causing a vicious accident of one death and four injuries. The driver of the cement muck truck is mainly responsible for the accident.
Second, ambulances are equipped with warning lights and horns, and enjoy the right of way first. However, these rights are not "swords of superiors", and it is necessary to ensure safe crossing. In this accident, I personally think that the ambulance should also bear the corresponding secondary responsibility. After the accident, many people expressed their sadness. It's a pity that their own lives were hit by a vehicle in the first aid and thrown out of the car. Because of this incident, the driver of the cement muck truck was attacked by many people, as if all the responsibilities should be borne by the driver.
Ambulances are special means of transportation. When performing emergency tasks, they sounded sirens to warn social vehicles to give way. After all, a minute earlier may save the patient's life. However, sounding the alarm and enjoying the right of way does not mean that ambulances can ignore safety, jaywalk and run red lights, and they must also pay attention to the safety around them.
In this accident, the ambulance collided with a cement muck truck. Even if the cement muck truck didn't run a red light and hit it at a speed limit, it was the owner's full responsibility. Suppose an ambulance ran a red light and hit a pedestrian, how should it be judged? Is it judged that pedestrians are mainly responsible?
Third, "road priority right of way" does not mean "accident exemption right", and traffic accidents when ambulances are on duty do not mean exemption! Article 53 of the Road Traffic Safety Law stipulates: "Special vehicles can use sirens and sign lamps when performing emergency tasks, and they are not limited by driving routes, driving directions, driving speeds and signal lamps on the premise of ensuring safety." Focus on one sentence in the regulations: on the premise of ensuring safety! Back to the accident, did the ambulance pay attention to the intersection when it ran the red light? "Road priority" is not equal to "accident immunity".
An ambulance in Suzhou ran a red light while transporting emergency patients, and ran into a normal electric car, resulting in the death of the owner in his 60s on the spot. A similar accident occurred in Tiexi District, Shenyang City, Liaoning Province. An ambulance on duty hit a pedestrian and then hit two cars. According to witnesses, two cars 120 were extremely fast, and pedestrians were killed on the spot.
Should it really be exempted? If you kill people in the line of duty, you should beat them for nothing? Obviously should bear the responsibility.
To sum up, in the accident of Changsha cement muck truck hitting an ambulance running a red light, the muck truck did not observe the surrounding safety when passing through the intersection. According to witnesses, it was suspected that the speed was too fast and the harsh siren was ignored. Therefore, the owner of the muck truck can't even afford to run. On the other hand, although ambulances have the right of way, there are also cases where the speed is too fast and they don't observe the surrounding environment when they run red lights at intersections. "Road priority" does not mean "accident immunity". Welcome to leave a comment.
