On April 13, a man from Hangzhou, Ji, drove while playing mobile games, caused a disaster, and killed an elderly man in Zaoxi Village, Lin'an District, Hangzhou. Ji has been detained for suspected traffic accidents.

A man was distracted from driving and knocked down the old man, causing him to die on the spot

30-year-old Ji is from Lin'an, Hangzhou and has 3 years of driving experience. At 8:00 on April 13, he drove a small Shanghai C license plate sedan from Lin'an to pick up his mother at a relative's house in Zaoxi Village. When the car drove to Hengtang Village section of Provincial Highway 102, because there were few vehicles on the road and I felt bored to drive, I slowed down and took out my phone to play a game of passing the level.

At that time, he held the steering wheel with his left hand and his right hand, looking up at the road conditions, and playing games with his head down. When driving to the section of Zaoxi Village Expressway Bridge, the vehicle suddenly shifted to the right, hit the cement retaining wall on the north side of the bridge, and then hit a 68-year-old woman walking on the roadside. She drove forward for more than 20 meters before she stopped.

After the incident, Ji called 110 and 120, and the doctor confirmed that the old man had died on the spot.

Distracted driving is extremely harmful

On April 18, the reporter learned from the Traffic Police Brigade of Lin'an District, Hangzhou that Ji has been detained for suspected traffic accidents.

Ji Mou explained that he usually has the habit of driving on his mobile phone. At the time of the incident, he drove at a speed of 60 kilometers per hour and played with his mobile phone for about 20 minutes. He was lucky enough to eventually lead to a tragedy.

When the vehicle speed is 60 kilometers per hour, looking down at the phone for 3 seconds is equivalent to blindly driving for 50 meters. In an emergency, the brakes need to be at least 20 meters. According to statistics, the probability of accidents occurring when driving on a mobile phone is 23 times that of ordinary driving, and the probability of accidents occurring when driving on a phone is 2.8 times that of ordinary driving.

Distracted driving is extremely harmful. Drivers are asked to concentrate when driving, and never make phone calls, browse friends or play games while driving. This is not only responsible for yourself and your family, but also for the safety of others.
