in addition to direct causes, there are also some indirect causes and potential hidden dangers. if these hidden dangers are not eliminated, the occurrence of accidents may satisfy murphy's law.

last october, a road traffic accident occurred in tongnan district, chongqing, killing three people. recently, according to the chongqing emergency management bureau, the accident investigation team determined that the traffic accident was a production safety responsibility accident, and many people were held accountable.

on that day, li, an online car-hailing driver, collided with three elderly people walking in the same direction on the road ahead and a car parked on the roadside, killing one elderly person on the spot, injuring two elderly people (who died after being sent to the hospital for rescue), and damaging two cars. this is a brief description of the traffic accident. when we talk about traffic accidents, we often do not classify them as accidents of production safety responsibility. if we do not look into it carefully, this traffic accident does not seem to have much in common. so why was it identified as a production safety responsibility accident?

according to the investigation report of the traffic accident, li's distracted driving and improper operation caused the vehicle to deviate from the normal driving track, which was the direct cause of the accident. however, in addition to the direct cause, there are also some indirect causes and potential hidden dangers involving multiple companies and multiple regulatory departments.if these hidden dangers are not eliminated, accidents may satisfy murphy's law - if something has the potential to go wrong, no matter how small the possibility is, it will always happen.

in addition to the driver, there are other units and individuals who need to be held accountable for this accident. for example, the online car-hailing platform company did not conduct pre-job education and training assessments for online car-hailing drivers in accordance with internal regulations, and did not conduct theoretical and road tests, etc.; the vehicle company did not strictly implement relevant safety systems and did not conduct pre-job safety education; the relevant transportation bureau did not carry out effective safety supervision and inspection measures, and implemented law enforcement inspections and handling in a standardized manner; the relevant traffic patrol police detachment did not take corresponding investigation and control measures for the accident hazards that affected vehicle driving due to the illegal setting of temporary parking spaces on the accident section; the relevant city management bureau failed to supervise and manage the setting of temporary parking spaces for accidents, did not conduct assessments and adjustments of temporary parking spaces on the accident section, and failed to remove or adjust the illegal temporary parking spaces in a timely manner in accordance with the law...

the driver has been arrested on suspicion of traffic accident. some netizens believe that the driver was not driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, and the speed at the time of the accident was 37km/h. the accident section itself is narrow, and the roadside parking spaces are not marked reasonably, causing the road to suddenly become narrower. in addition, it is an arc-shaped curve, which is prone to accidents. however, according to relevant judicial interpretations, if more than three people are killed, even if they bear equal responsibility for the accident, they are suspected of constituting a traffic accident. i believe that according to the actual situation of the case, the law will eventually deal with it fairly and impartially. it is worth mentioning that the doubts of netizens may be the reason why this accident was classified as a production safety responsibility accident and why multiple units and personnel were held accountable.

it seemed like an ordinary traffic accident, but after an in-depth investigation, a series of problems were revealed. the investigation and handling of the accident were obviously serious. the investigation report shows that it is recommended that the online car-hailing platform company and its person in charge, the car-owning company and its person in charge be fined administratively, and the clues and relevant materials found in the process of the accident investigation on the performance of duties of the relevant departments and their public officials will be handed over to the local commission for discipline inspection and supervision for accountability.

a traffic accident was identified as a production safety accident. the responsible party was severely punished, which also brought multiple warnings.: online ride-hailing drivers must always be vigilant about safety, and must avoid driving while tired and speeding, and must not drive under the influence of alcohol or drugs; online ride-hailing platform companies and vehicle-related companies must continuously improve and strictly implement safety management systems, and truly assume the main responsibility for safe production; relevant departments must also take proactive actions in setting up road parking spaces, checking for traffic safety hazards, and investigating and punishing illegal and irregular behaviors, and maintain the bottom line of safety.
