The car was driving on the Shanghai-Nanjing Expressway and was about to leave the border of Jiangsu Province. After the truck transporting containers passed by, they discovered a discarded car tire on the road not far ahead. Because it was a highway, each car was traveling at a slow speed, and the distance between them and the previous car was too close. His son could no longer avoid the car. The car followed the inertia and rolled over. At that moment, he was in danger. happened. The car lost control, the brakes failed, and no matter how hard I turned the steering wheel, it was to no avail… It was sliding sideways on the highway, turning left and right.
