Sudden illness

He finished slowing down and pulling the handbrake within 15 seconds

The passengers in the car were safe, but he left

　　The day of the accident was July 18th.

Because it is the weekend, there are more passengers on the bus than usual at the same time.

The surveillance video inside the car showed that at 10:52:02 on July 18, 49-year-old Song Zhimin drove a bus No. 6 with the license plate number of Chuan X60062 to the second campus station of Hope Primary School in Guang'an City.

After getting on and off the passengers, Song Zhimin closed the door and continued to drive.

　　At 10:52:52, Song Zhimin gradually increased the speed to 28 km/h.

But at this time, he may feel something abnormal in his body, because the video shows that he is holding the steering wheel with his left hand, hammering his left chest with his right hand, and tidying up his seat belt.

　　Immediately afterwards, the bus did not increase its speed normally, but began to decelerate gradually. 15 seconds later, at 10:53:07, when the bus speed dropped to 10 km/h, Song Zhimin pulled off the handbrake.

After the bus stopped steadily, Song Zhimin fell into the cab.

　　At that time, Liu Qingluo, the driver of the opposite bus, happened to be passing by. He discovered an abnormal situation when meeting with the parked No. 6 bus.

Liu Qingluo quickly stopped to check and found that his colleague Song Zhimin was in a coma.

Liu Qingluo quickly dialed 120 and 110, and while instructing the passengers to open the door from the car to evacuate in an orderly manner, he quickly reported to the company's leaders.

　　About 5 minutes after the incident, the leaders of 120, 110 and the bus company arrived at the scene one after another. Medical staff rushed to actively rescue Song Zhimin, but Song Zhimin had no spontaneous breathing and heartbeat at this time.

Song Zhimin was rushed to the hospital again, but unfortunately, after the medical staff tried their best to rescue him, his life could not be saved.

It is understood that Song Zhimin "died due to respiratory and circulatory failure."

Ordinary and great

Not far ahead of the parking is a downhill road

He usually says "Passengers can rest assured."

　　It is understood that when Song Zhimin became ill, there were 16 passengers on the bus, and about 300 meters in front of where he stopped the bus was a long downhill section.

Relevant personnel of the bus company said that if Song Zhimin did not handle properly before he fell on the same day, it is likely to cause a major traffic accident.

　　The reporter learned from Guang'an Guangtai Bus Company that Song Zhimin is a driver with 26 years of driving experience. In December 2019, he entered the company through an examination and hired to engage in bus driving and was assigned to the 6th bus line.

According to reports, Song Zhimin is an excellent driver who works hard and conscientiously. He always puts good quality and civilized driving and the safety of passengers in the highest position, and always tightens the string of safety.

　　Prior to this, Song Zhimin was awarded the title of "Star Driver" by the company in the first quarter of 2021.

It is understood that in a recent physical examination organized by the bus company, Song Zhimin's physical examination results were normal.

In the eyes of colleagues, Song Zhimin is dedicated to his work, strictly abides by road traffic laws, and never misses a trace of safety hazards.

A line he often chants is: "Keep the steering wheel in your hands, and passengers can rest assured."
