Before he could react, this Tesla knocked down a tricycle behind Zhan Yue's car and made a "bomb-like" sound. Zhan Yue quickly got off the bus and found that the tricycle owner was injured, so he called 120. He left soon because he was in a hurry to deliver the goods.

About 20 minutes later, Zhan Yue delivered the goods to the door and saw the tricycle owner still lying on the ground. He called 120 again until the injured were taken away. "His hand was broken, but he was still conscious."

Another witness, Mr. Qiu, the owner of a cement shop near the scene of the incident, told the upstream journalist that he stood at the door of the shop that morning and heard a loud bang. He turned around and saw this Tesla knocked down the tricycle. "It is estimated that the speed is 200 kilometers per hour, without a second. As soon as I turned around, the car fell. I saw it wagging its tail. "

He recalled that Tesla was trying to avoid a six-wheeled truck and knocked down the tricycle behind him. After the tricycle owner in his forties fell to the ground, he shook his tail and knocked down a high school girl riding a bicycle.

Mr. Qiu and the opposite cement shop owner and truck driver rushed to the rescue and found that the girl riding a bicycle seemed to have no vital signs. The location of the incident is about 100 meters away from Raoping No.4 Middle School.

"The Tesla driver was already in a coma, and it was very miserable." Mr. Qiu said that everyone worked together to carry Mr. Zhan out of the car. After the traffic police and medical staff arrived at the scene, he went out to deliver the goods and saw another victim at the door of a breakfast shop in Xiaxinlou Village, which is more than kilometers away from the school/kloc-0. A female villager in her 40 s and 50 s fell to the ground on a motorcycle and fell apart. This woman seems to be dead. "I heard from her family at the scene that she was from Shuinan Village nearby.

"Later, the traffic police came to retrieve our monitoring." Mr. Qiu said that Mr. Zhan, the driver of Tesla, is the agent of the local cement brand Raobei. He started from scratch and has a certain reputation in the local area. "It's just that life has been better in the past two years and I bought this Tesla."

"Whether it is the driver or the families of the victims and the injured," Mr. Qiu said.
