Clarification that it was not a Jack but part of the highway.


At first it was thought that the accident occurred because the driver of another car, which is shown in the pictures that was parked on the bridge, had placed a hydraulic jack on the track instead of an emergency signal. However, the Zhongshan Local Police clarified that the metal object was a fragment of the bridge expansion joint. Thank God, it should be reported that all occupants of the damaged vehicles survived the accident.

That is a weird placement of expansion joint
Also an expansion joint that protrude from a concrete and asphalt pavement? Truly an unique case

SUV occupants survived, obstacle was a protruding bridge part and USA caused the Covid. Yeah, I believe Chinese media reports.

That SUV teetered on the edge for a good two seconds. Bet THAT opened up their squinty eyes! "Owwww Froook!"

There appears to be intrusion of the cab by the guardrail.
I wonder what constitutes minor injuries.

According to the report, five people suffered minor injuries in the accident. As of the morning of November 20th, four had been discharged from the hospital, while the other injured person remained hospitalized for a broken finger on his right hand.

Online rumors of fatalities were false.

According to the photos taken at the scene, there was a person lying on the ground covered with a cloth next to the vehicle that fell off the bridge. Did he die on the spot?

Zhongshan traffic police explained that the person in the photo referred to by netizens is Ms. Chen, one of the injured in the blue passenger car that fell off the bridge.

Ms. Chen suffered only minor injuries and is not in danger of death. The white cloth covering her body was a blanket that was in the car.

After the incident, Ms. Chen was rescued from the car by her companions and lay on the ground awaiting medical assistance.

It was midday, and the sun was scorching, so she covered herself with the blanket for protection.

On the morning of November 20, the injured Ms. Chen was discharged from the hospital after recovering. Ms. Chen and her family personally clarified the rumors of her death to the majority of netizens.
