Sichuan Ya'an van dropped in river causing 7 missing 6 rescued

At 23:30 on the 21st, the reporter learned from the relevant department in Yaan City, Sichuan Province that, at 12:00 noon on that day, a rural passenger van in the town fell out of the highway guardrail into the Zhougong River in the 3rd group of Lion Village in the southern suburbs of Yucheng District. At the time of the accident, there were 13 people in the car, of which 6 were rescued and sent to the hospital, and 7 others were still missing.

At the scene of the accident, the car that fell on the river was a golden van. The body had completely fallen into the Zhougong River. Due to the heavy rains of the past days, the river water in the Zhougong River soared and the water flowed swiftly. Only a small part of the rear of the car was exposed on the river. The car is still shaking under the scour of the flood, at any time there may be washed away by the flood.

After the accident, local leaders quickly led the public security, traffic police, firefighting, and 120 emergency personnel to the rescue scene. After receiving the alarm, the fire detachment of Ya'an City dispatched 11 officers and soldiers of two fire engines to the scene. Upon arrival at the scene, a rescue worker immediately put on a life jacket, tied with an insurance line, and went down to the river to investigate the van from the rear of the vehicle. After investigation, he found no personnel at the rear of the vehicle. Due to being blocked by the back seat of the car, it is impossible to find out the situation in other positions in the car. With the assistance of the crane, the rescue workers stepped on the hooks of the crane and went down to the van again, trying to lift the van through the steel ropes. However, due to the turbulent river and low water temperature, rescue workers could not fix themselves in the water and could not find a suitable location for the steel ropes. The first lifting failed.

At this time the sky has been raining, the river has been rising, the van can only vaguely see the rear. The firefighters on the scene carried the hook they had once again got down to the river, but because they were hung on the exhaust pipe of the car and the car was lifted a short distance, they fell into the river and tried twice. .

Subsequently, through the unremitting efforts of rescue workers, the van was finally lifted up by the steel rope. However, no one was found on the vehicle. (Finish)
