We often see traffic accidents reported on TV, but we seldom witness a real one happening right before our eyes! On June 18,2003, a red taxi crashed head-on into a bus on the Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge, about 50 meters south of the North Bridge Tower, resulting in the immediate death of the taxi driver and serious injury of the bus driver and several passengers on the bus. We were on our school bus to Jiangpu Campus when it happened. I noticed red taxi changed in the fast lane on the left suddenly and narrowly missed a truck there. In a desperate attempt to avoid the speeding truck, the taxi driver made a sharp turn of the wheel, causing the vehicle to slip into the opposite lane where a queue of vehicles were running the other way. The bus driver did try to stop his bus, but it was so abrupt for him. Before you knew it, you heard a bang, mixed with a screech. The taxi smashed right into the bus, the front half of the taxi was almost gone, and the head of the bus was badly distorted. There was blood and glass everywhere, and all the traffic was held up on the bridge. There are several causes accounting for this disaster, and it was clear, I think, the taxi driver was chiefly responsible for the whole tragedy. The seat behind the wheel is not the position for tired and sleepy persons and the driver, after doing his business for a whole for a whole night, was exhausted. So when he tried to shift lanes, he seems to have forgotten to switch on the turn signal or even to look around him. Another factor for the accident was the rainy weather, which left the road very slippery. And finally, the truck driver was speeding at the moment the taxi changed lanes, and so he was partially to blame.
