"Bang!" At around 3 a.m. on the 13th, residents living near the north gate of Quanshui District K4, Ganjingzi District, Dalian City were awakened by a loud noise, and then car alarms came from the streets outside. Someone got up and found that a serious traffic accident occurred at the entrance of the community. An cement tanker suddenly lost control and hit more than ten cars parked on the roadside. The ground was covered with debris, and the scene was in a mess.
Wake up in his sleep. He was hit by parking downstairs.
"First I heard a loud noise, then a series of impact sounds came out, and then there were car alarms one after another." Mr. Wang lived in the K4 area of Quanshui, and he was awakened at that time. At around 3 a.m. on August 13, Ms. Xu, who was already asleep, was also awakened by the sound. "I don't know what happened, so I turned on my phone first and found someone in the owners' group informed me that a traffic accident occurred downstairs." Ms. Xu's car parked on the edge of the north gate, and she and her husband quickly went downstairs to check.
"My car was also hit, the trunk was completely sunken, and the front of the car was seriously damaged." Ms. Xu said that the accident was a cement tanker, the driver was a middle-aged man in his 50s, and it didn't seem to be a serious injury. She counted, not including the cement tanker that caused the accident, as many as 11 vehicles were damaged at the scene.
The scene was tragic. Many cars were directly hit and deformed
From the live video taken by Ms. Xu, we can see that the damaged cars were particularly severely damaged. Except for a taxi and a truck, the others were all private cars, and most of them were hit and deformed. Ms. Xu said that from the on-site analysis, the cement tanker should have driven from east to west along Longhua Road. The car lost control and the first one hit a taxi and a private car. The two cars were also the most severely damaged. The impact force later caused other vehicles parked on the roadside to be "skewed with candied haws".
"So many cars are seriously damaged. We are really innocent when we are lying down and we are shot." Ms. Xu said that thanks to a large truck blocking it, there would be more damaged vehicles.

The driver said on the spot that he "slept!"
Ms. Xu said that when he saw so many cars being hit, she once asked the driver of the tank truck what was the cause of the accident. The driver once said, "slept!" Ms. Xu analyzed that it was already past 3 a.m., and the driver was very likely to be tired of driving, which caused a disaster.
After the incident, Ms. Xu's husband called the police and the traffic police quickly arrived at the scene, and the vehicle in the accident was towed away. At present, the cause of the accident and subsequent matters are under further investigation and handling.
