A total of 17 people died and 37 others were injured after 56 vehicles piled up on a Beijing-Kunming expressway in North China's Shanxi province Monday.
11月21日,京昆高速山西省境内路段发生56辆车连环相撞事故,导致17人死亡,37人受伤。

普通的“车辆相撞”在英语中可以用car collision表示,如果是好几辆车“连环相撞”则会用pile up表示,名词形式为pileup,比如,这则资讯当中既用了动词形式“56 vehicles piled up on a Beijing-Kunming expressway”,也在标题中用到了名词形式“17 killed, 37 injured in N China pileup”。我们知道pile up原本的意思是“堆积”,在这里形容连环相撞的事故场面也的确很形象。
此外,crash也常用来表示“撞车”,但这里不一定是两车相撞,也可能是车辆撞到了别的物体上导致事故发生。所以,car crash包含的意义比car collision要广一些。另外,“飞机失事”也用plane crash来表示。
发生车祸,除了天气和道路状况原因之外,人为的因素也不可忽视。日常行车过程中常见的交通违法行为包括:
超速 speeding
超载 overloading
疲劳驾驶 fatigue driving
酒驾/毒驾 driving under influence(DUI)
不安全变道 unsafe lane changes
肇事逃逸 hit-and-run
禁行区行驶 running through restricted areas
占用应急车道 emergency lanes occupancy
闯红灯 running red lights
