  The white car was walking on the road, carrying 5 people.

  Holding the steering wheel is 43-year-old Yan Minghui, a coach at Yulin Saibei Sunshine Driving School.

  Sitting in the co-pilot sits 21-year-old Liu Siqi, who graduated from Shaanxi Normal University and is about to become an English teacher; the window on the left side of the back row is Han Yu, 23 years old, a senior from Beijing Jiaotong University; 20-year-old Tuo Xiaowei sits In the middle, he is a veterinarian, and Zhao Xue on the far right is the same age as him, studying at Xi'an University of Architecture and Technology, and Ma is a junior.

  On the afternoon of July 16, Yan Minghui took four trainees to practice driving near the third examination room of Changxing Subject in the Automobile Industry Park, 18 kilometers away from the driving school.

  The car drove from west to east to the intersection of Industry 3rd Road and Expo Road. The roads here are open, there are few traffic, and there are no traffic lights. After crossing the intersection, it is the Kesan driving route. Four young people will take turns to drive, practice a circle along the three routes, and then take the test two days later.

  For this test, Tuo Xiaowei specially asked for leave to return from Yinchuan; Han Yu and Liu Siqi took advantage of the gap on the eve of work to take the driver's license test.

  This is the most common day in July in northern Shaanxi, with the scorching sun and the sky bright.

  A white off-road vehicle drove from south to north with a "bang" and collided with the car at an intersection.

Car accident

  The sudden loud noise shocked Zhang Wenxuan.

  He and his co-workers were talking on the side of the road more than ten meters away. Turning around, I saw that the white car was knocked into flight, turned around in the air, and landed heavily on the side of the road. Another white off-road vehicle was parked in the middle of the cross road.

The front is a white car, and the rear is an off-road vehicle.

  The two rushed over. A guy in his 30s got out of the off-road vehicle, holding his bleeding left arm with a painful expression, and told them to call the police.

  Zhang Wenxuan asked him to sit by the side of the road. He and his workers dialed "120" and "110" respectively. The time was 16:05.

  The operator asked how many people were there, and Zhang Wenxuan saw that there were 5 people in another car. The right side of the car was severely sunken, the ground was full of body fragments, and the windshield was broken.

The right side of the white car was dented and deformed.

  The driver, Yan Minghui, had his head down, wearing a seat belt, bleeding from his face, mouth and nose, "looking very serious." Liu Siqi, who was in the co-pilot, also lowered her head, and she was stuck due to severe compression. Zhang Wenxuan stepped forward and pulled the right side car door, but couldn't open it.

  Han Yu, who was in the back seat by the left window, fell to the middle, and Zhao Xue in the right window was spitting blood in her mouth, and she was tilted, "looking at nothing." Only Tuo Xiaowei in the middle was awake, with a scratch on his head, the back of the white T-shirt was soaked with blood, and he was clamped and unable to move. "He said he was uncomfortable and wanted to get out of the car." Zhang Wenxuan asked "120" , "Others say you are not professional, we dare not move."

  Trainees and coaches who practiced nearby crowded around. Ten minutes later, three ambulances arrived.

  Zhao Xue was rescued first. The nurse put an oxygen bag on her and carried her into an ambulance, followed by Han Yu, Tuo Xiaowei, and Yan Minghui. Liu Siqi, who was stuck, was not rescued until the firefighters opened the right door. The doctor touched her neck and said that she was dead.

  Three days later, the three major teams of the traffic police detachment of the Yulin Public Security Bureau issued a statement: At 16:17 on July 16th, Xu received a police order from the Municipal Command Center that when the small car driven by Yan Minghui was driving from west to east, it was different from south to north. An off-road vehicle driven by Liu Lei on the road collided, causing Liu Siqi to die on the spot. One person died after being rescued in the hospital and others were injured to varying degrees.

The three teams of the traffic police detachment of the Yulin Public Security Bureau released a statement

  Liu Lei’s brother Liu Wei said that the owner of the off-road vehicle in the accident was a friend of his younger brother’s, and the car inspection was about to expire. That afternoon, the younger brother helped to audit the car. The accident happened on the way home. , The speed may be a bit faster."

  Liu Wei said that his younger brother was allergic to alcohol and did not drive under the influence of drugs on that day. He said he had visited the scene of the car accident and guessed that the coach drove in a retrograde or fast speed.

  However, Yan Minghui’s brother-in-law Guo Yong said that he heard from the traffic police brigade that the speed of the off-road vehicle was 86 yards that day, the driver ruled out drunk driving and drug driving, and the coach car ran normally.

  The blood alcohol test report produced by the three major teams of the Yulin traffic police showed that Liu Lei had not detected ethanol. However, some family members were suspicious about Liu Lei's blood sample being sent for examination on the second day of the incident. At present, the liability certificate for this traffic accident has not yet been released.

Bad news

  It was Tuo Xiaowei's father who first learned of the car accident. At 16:36 that day, while he was working on the construction site, he received a call from the Third Yulin Hospital, saying that there was an accident with the child and hurried to the hospital. At his hometown in Hengshan District, 80 kilometers away, he immediately called his daughter Tuo Lingling who works in Yuyang District and asked her to go there first.

  It was almost 5 o'clock when Tuo Lingling arrived at the hospital. She saw her brother lying on the bed, unconscious, with blood in her mouth, arms, and back. She "howled" at once. '

  At noon that day, the two went out together, and the younger brother also said that he would help her wash her clothes and clean up the room after returning from training. They ate fried rice together and then rode to the driving school. When leaving, her brother told her to slow down and be safe.

  She thought, it would be great if she didn't let her brother go to practice the car that day, but "who knew this would happen?"

  Before her brother was rescued, she personally signed the critical illness notice. At 8 o'clock in the evening, my father also came from his hometown. The family sat crying outside the rescue.

  Tuo Xiaowei suffered multiple injuries to his head, arms, ribs, and pelvis. He had been bleeding from the abdomen and received 3,200 ml of blood. After signing 4 critical illness notices one after another, Tuolingling didn't dare to sign, so he could only ask his brother to sign.

  Han Yu's father received the news while driving a crane. At that time, almost 7 pm, a friend from the traffic police team called and asked if the child's name was Han Yu, and he said yes. The phone hung up. Three or four minutes later, my friend called again and said that your child had an accident and come to the hospital.

  When Han Yu's mother rushed to the hospital from her hometown in Suide County, Yulin, it was already past 9 pm. She saw her son full of pipes, gauze on his head, blood and wounds on his face, "I can't recognize him anymore."

  After 11 o'clock, Han Yu's father also arrived. Before long, Han Yu was transferred to the intensive care unit. The diagnostic certificate showed that he had been in a coma due to hemorrhagic shock, acute closed head injury, pleural effusion, and pelvic fracture.

  At that time, Liu Siqi's mother did not know that her daughter had passed away.

  In the morning, Siqi was about to go out to practice. The coach sent a message saying that he would not practice today. After two o'clock in the afternoon, she said she wanted to practice again, so she drove Siqi over by bike.

  On the way, Siqi asked her why she hadn't been to the hospital recently. She said, wait until you finish the exam. "Mom, take care of your health." Siqi exhorted.

  The last conversation between the two was not long after. They arrived at the driving school around 15:25. Siqi smiled and waved, "Mom, bye." Eight minutes later, Yan Minghui took the students and left.

  When I went out for dinner at night, she specially packed a casserole rice noodle for her daughter, and asked her when she would be back on WeChat. The daughter who usually replies to the news has never been answered. Thinking of her daughter training, she didn't dare to send it again.

  Later, she sent a few more messages, but didn't reply. They sent videos and voices, but didn't answer them. She was a little anxious and kept staring at the phone. By 9:10 in the evening, I really couldn't wait. I called my daughter, and the traffic police answered that Liu Siqi was overloaded in someone else's car and asked her and relatives to go to the traffic police brigade.

  On the way, Mother Liu received a call to go to the Northern Hospital. After arriving at the hospital, she was called aside. The doctor quietly told the relatives who were traveling with him that the child was no longer good, so let's get the corpse.

  Father Liu, who was doing business in Yan'an, rushed back overnight and arrived at the hospital at two or three in the morning. The daughter lay quietly in the morgue, "like asleep", and the couple cried all night.

  It was also around 9 o'clock in the evening. After Zhao Juan came home from get off work, she found out that her sister Zhao Xue was not at home. She called her and the traffic police answered and told her about the accident.

  The younger sister I saw in the hospital morgue had black and purple heads, broken arms and right legs, and the fatal injuries "should be internal organs." At about 3 pm, Zhao Juan was also in the family group video with her sister, which would make her feel that the sky was falling.

Driving school

  Zhao Juan never expected that there would be an accident in the practice.

  Due to the epidemic this year, his sister Zhao Xue did not go to school and has been taking online classes at home. In May, my sister said that she wanted to learn to drive, and there was no driving school in her hometown, so she asked her to come to her home.

  The closest to her home is Saibei Sunshine Driving School. According to the official website of the driving school, it was registered and established in November 2018 and covers an area of ​​more than 30 acres. “It has a first-class training field and supporting facilities, including more than 80 training vehicles such as the new ZTE pickup truck and the new Jetta, and more than 90 employees. , Is a large-scale driver training institution in Yulin."

Saibei Sunshine Driving School Gate

  On the day of "June 1", Zhao Juan consulted Saibei Sunshine Driving School and learned that the registration fee was 1880 yuan, the training fee was 1,200 yuan for one-to-one training, and 900 yuan for several trainees together-they chose the latter, and after bargaining 2400 yuan.

  A person in charge surnamed Guo promised that if he could get the certificate in 35 days, he would arrange a reliable coach for her.

  The coach is Yan Minghui. Brother-in-law Guo Yong introduced that Yan had been a coach for about three years. Before the establishment of Saibei Sunshine Driving School, he was a coach at the Great Wall Driving School run by the same boss. Yan's brother-in-law is one of the shareholders of Saibei Sunshine Driving School. Before becoming a coach, Yan helped people drive a big car and run long distances to pull coal. The business was not good, so he stopped doing odd jobs in his hometown in Jiaxian County and planted some land.

  In the eyes of the villagers, Yan Minghui was an "honest man who grew up bearing hardships". His father died when he was 22 years old. The 75-year-old mother has been suffering from illness in recent years and has undergone several operations for gallstones and colon cancer. Yan has two children, the oldest is 16 years old, and the youngest is 12 years old. They are both in school and rely on him to support the family. Last year, the cave dwelling at my house was rotten to the ground, and the government helped to repair it.

  Usually, Yan Minghui lives in a driving school, and his wife and children are in his hometown.

  In Guo Yong's memory, Yan Minghui taught many students, and the students gave him a good evaluation. In his circle of friends, almost all congratulations to the students for passing the exam.

  Yan Minghui’s last circle of friends during his lifetime was to congratulate the trainees on successfully getting his driver’s license. He died 11 days after the accident.

  Guo Yong learned to drive with him. At that time, Yan Minghui only taught subject two. Last year, he spent RMB 50,000 to 60,000 to buy a manual car in installments, and borrowed a brother-in-law to take the name of the household—"His family is a poor household. If he buys a car, the poor household will be gone," Guo Yong explained.

  After that, Yan Minghui began to use this car to teach subjects three.

  Tuo Lingling is also a student of Yan. She signed up in December last year, started practicing in April this year, and got her driver's license in May. She introduced that in Yulin driving schools, the second course usually uses the yellow card of the driving school to practice in the driving school; most of the third courses are coaches driving blue-brand private cars and taking students to the road near the examination room to practice. "This is generally the case." The test can be taken in four days. She used to practice Yan Minghui's accidental car for three o'clock before the subject.

  Tuo Lingling felt that Yan Minghui drove relatively steadily, was patient, and treated the students very well. The students invited him to dinner, but he never went.

Yan Minghui is training the trainer.

  To this end, his brother Tuo Xiaowei also followed Yan Minghui to learn to drive. After returning to Yulin from Yinchuan on leave in May, he immediately signed up. He usually lives at his sister's house. He bikes for half an hour every morning, up to two hours, and part-time game power leveling at night. I took the second exam in June, and I took it once. He wanted to invite his sister to dinner after he got his driver's license, and then buy a car in installments.

  Zhao Xue is also subject two in June and subject three will start on July 13. At first she found it a little difficult, the coach was stricter, some students were crying fiercely, and she was also fierce.

  Liu Siqi's home is near the driving school, and I chose this driving school because of its proximity. After finishing the second course in June, she went back to school to attend the graduation ceremony and resumed practice after returning home in July. She agreed with her cousin to eat hot pot together after the third exam.

  Han Yu took the first subject in Beijing, but he couldn’t go to the school this year. In June, he went to the driving test team to bring the files back, and transferred to Saibei Sunshine Driving School to learn to drive. After he got his driver’s license, he went to the company to report on July 23. Started my first job in life.

rescue

  At around 12 o'clock in the evening on July 16, Tuo Xiaowei woke up from a coma, always complaining of pain, and asked his sister if he was responsible, "Sister, what should we do if we don't have so much money?"

  "Others have been cushioned first."

  "How is the coach? How is the student?"

  "Okay." Tuo Lingling didn't dare to tell the truth.

  Early the next morning, Tuo Xiaowei was transferred to the intensive care unit of Yulin Second Hospital. Originally, he had to do CT, but due to the compression of his lungs, he couldn't breathe and couldn't do it. For the next few days, he remained semi-conscious and semi-conscious.

  The family members stayed outside the intensive care unit and laid two mats on the floor, waiting for the doctor to call at any time.

  Tuo Lingling is most afraid of doctors talking to them, she is afraid of hearing bad results. The younger brother is three years younger. He is tall and thin, handsome and sunny, and he is careful and kind. He will give to anyone who asks for money. After graduating from junior college last year, he went to Yinchuan to work as a veterinarian. He used to buy things for his family for seven or eight thousand a month. When he got home, he said, "Sister, what do you want to eat, take you", and buy her Dior lipstick. But I am very economical, not willing to take a taxi.

  The most worrying thing is the medical expenses. The intensive care unit costs 10,000 to 20,000 a day. Tuo Xiaowei's family is in the countryside. His mother grows 10 to 20 acres of potatoes, millet, and corn, and his father does odd jobs while farming, earning 20,000 to 30,000 yuan a year. The three children in the family were finally brought up with great difficulty and had no savings. Last year, Tuomu was also diagnosed with hyperthyroidism, and the monthly cost of medicine was several hundred yuan.

  On the day of the accident, Tuo Xiaowei's father only took 20,000 yuan, and it was gone all night. After that, they called to borrow money every day. Relatives and friends borrowed money. The Traffic Police Brigade also asked for help. They said they tried their best to find a way to get the family to pay in advance. Up to now, more than 200,000 yuan has been spent on medical expenses.

  A few days ago, Tuo Xiaowei was transferred from the ICU to the general ward and had surgery on his left arm and pelvis. Knowing the situation of other people in the car, he felt uncomfortable and did not eat for a day.

  Han Yu's family is also worried about money. Han Yu is still in a coma in the intensive care unit. The doctor can't tell when to wake up. Medical expenses are like a bottomless pit. More than 200,000 have been spent, all of which are borrowed.

  "It was so difficult to train him. Just when he started to work, such a big thing happened." Han Yu's mother said. She was farming in her hometown, and her husband drove a crane. The three daughters were married. The youngest son was sensible and independent since childhood. Let them worry about it. Now she hopes that her son will wake up every day.

  The three major teams of the Yulin traffic police helped contact the insurance company of the two cars that caused the accident, requesting to start the funeral and rescue cost advance service, and to start the road traffic accident social relief fund. However, neither Tuo nor Han Yu have received it. They hope to get social assistance.

  On the 11th day after the accident, Yan Minghui passed away without rescue. The treatment cost nearly 300,000 yuan, all borrowed from relatives and friends and online crowdfunding.

Yan Minghui’s diagnosis before his death.

  Guo Yong heard from other coaches that the driving school did not buy accident insurance for the coaches. After the accident, the person in charge of the driving school never contacted Yan's family. Only the brother-in-law paid medical expenses in his own name.

  Liu Lei, a 29-year-old off-road vehicle driver, was the least injured in the accident. His left arm was fractured, blood vessels and tendons were broken. He underwent a cleanup operation for five or six hours that day. The glass slag was not completely removed, and subsequent surgery was required.

  After the car accident, Liu Wei found that his younger brother was in a trance. He often did not speak, did not eat, and cried when he was fine. He did not dare to mention it.

  Liu Wei said that his father died of stomach cancer when his younger brother was a teenager, and his mother was disabled in his right leg and could not do heavy work. Over the years, my brother helped people scrape walls everywhere, installed natural gas, water pipes, etc., wherever he could work, and when his income was good, four to five thousand a month. Affected by the epidemic this year, there is not much work to do. He bought a second-hand BYD car when he got married. After driving it for two or three years, he couldn't afford it and sold it. There is also a 6-year-old child in the family, Ma Shengzheng is in primary school, and the family lives in a rented house in Yulin.

  They don't know what to do now, "If we need compensation in the future, we will go all out."

wait

  The day after the accident, Liu Siqi and Zhao Xue's family came to Saibei Sunshine Driving School to ask for an explanation.

  The driving school was open that day. There were dozens of cars parked on the playground and some trainees were practicing. Some people said that the car accident had nothing to do with the driving school, so they were asked to go and they reported to the police.

  The person in charge of the driving school has not shown up, and the family members can only guard at the driving school. "Just want to know what happened and let our children go with peace of mind." Liu Hui, a relative of Liu's family, said. They didn't understand why the child had a car accident at 4pm, so why didn't the driving school contact his family until 9pm.

  Father Liu blamed himself and regretted that he was not at home that day. At 2 o'clock in the training course in June, one day the sun was very strong. After he drove his daughter to the driving school, he lay down and looked inside. He told his sister that the child was backing up very steadily.

  "Excellent" and "good personality"...On the Internet, Liu Siqi's classmates and friends use these words to describe her. Some people say that she is "the gentlest girl I have ever seen."

  Liu Hui said that Liu Siqi has been "the pride of her family" since she was a child. Last year, she passed the teacher recruitment exam in Yulin High-tech Zone. Her family was very happy and was waiting for the results of the assignment. Liu Siqi also said that she would like to take part-time postgraduate exams in the future.

  The family still looks like before she died. My parents didn't want to go out all day. Standing at the door of her room, looking at the table, chairs, clothes, and bags, they felt that she was just going out and she would come back.

Letter from Liu Siqi's father to his daughter.

  Sixth day after Liu Siqi’s death, early in the morning, Liu’s father wrote a letter to his daughter: “I saw the honorary certificate, graduation certificate, and bachelor’s degree certificate left by my daughter at home, especially the registration card for immediately embarking on a job... Dad There is no chance for mom to say the last word, making parents feel guilty for life."

  After the accident, Zhao Xue's family dared not recall the details of her life, and they shed tears when they thought about it.

Traffic police set up warning signs at the intersection of the incident.

  Nowadays, a warning sign has been erected at the intersection where the incident occurred, reminding "I am taking the test, slow down." Every day, there are still test cars passing by. 700 meters away is the registration point for the third examination room of Changxing Branch. A staff member said that the traffic police patrol the neighborhood every day and are not allowed to use private cars to practice driving at the school.

  There are still white scratches on the asphalt road from the accident, the broken glass slag is glowing, and the car shell fragments are scattered on the ground, all reminding that there has been a tragic car accident here.

There were still test cars passing by at the intersection of the incident.
