Summary
- SUV driver swerved to avoid road debris, losing control.
- Mother and child ejected through rear window miraculously survived.
- Traffic police advise steady braking over sudden swerving for debris.
A harrowing incident occurred on the Nanjing Ring Expressway in Jiangsu, China, on August 18, when a family of four experienced a violent car crash. The driver of a black SUV abruptly swerved to avoid a piece of plastic debris on the road, causing the vehicle to lose control. The SUV spun multiple times, ejecting the mother and child from the back seat through the rear window onto the expressway.
Fortunately, both the mother and child survived this terrifying ordeal, though they sustained broken arms and were taken to the hospital. The father and son, who were in the front seats and wearing seatbelts, were unharmed. This accident highlights the dangers of sudden swerving in response to road hazards. Traffic police have issued advisories urging motorists to slow down steadily when encountering debris instead of making abrupt maneuvers, and to ensure all passengers consistently wear seatbelts.
