Continuous rainfall caused a brick wall to collapse in a farmer’s house in Jiaxian County, Shaanxi, and a car was buried, killing 3 people

  At about 16:00 on May 15th, affected by continuous rainfall, a farmer’s brick wall collapsed on the side of the road at 213KM+700M, Jiawu Line, Tanjiaping Village, Yukou Convenience Service Center, Jiaxian County, Shaanxi Province. The car was buried and 6 people were trapped in the car.

  After receiving the report, local rescuers rushed to the scene of the accident to carry out rescue operations as soon as possible.

After various rescue efforts, 6 trapped persons were rescued and rushed to the hospital for rescue. Unfortunately, 3 of them died after the rescue failed, and the vital signs of the remaining 3 were stable.

  Subsequently, the local area quickly launched a large-scale investigation and remediation of hidden safety hazards throughout the county, and carried out a dragnet-type investigation of hidden hazards such as roads, high-risk slopes, reservoirs and dams to fundamentally eliminate hidden risks.
