At noon on the 7th, due to the narrow road and soft foundation beside a fish pond, a truck loaded with white shad suddenly overturned into a fish pond along the road in Danyang, causing the white shad in the tank to spill into the pond and resulting in losses of several thousand yuan. Fortunately, the accident caused no casualties. Currently, because rescue machinery cannot enter the site, the rescue work has temporarily reached a deadlock.
At about 11:40 a.m. on the 7th, Xu, a resident of Situ Town, Danyang, driving a fish truck with license plate Su LF83**, went to a fish pond near Liuru Village, Yanling Town, Danyang, to purchase white shad. Because there was only a simple gravel road beside the rural fish pond, when the vehicle reached a fish pond south of Liuru Village, the roadbed was relatively soft, and the truck accidentally overturned into the fish pond beside the road. Instantly, the fish truck turned over with its four wheels facing upward, but fortunately there were no casualties. After the incident, traffic police in the Danyang jurisdiction immediately rushed to the scene.
Police told reporters that, according to driver Xu, his vehicle weighed 3.5 tons, and the water tank on the truck could hold 1 ton. Because it had rained continuously for the past few days, the simple gravel roadbed became soft, causing the truck to overturn into the pond beside the road. The driver also revealed that before the overturn, he had already purchased several hundred jin of white shad in the vehicle and had originally planned to buy some more white shad at another fish pond for resale, but unexpectedly the truck overturned midway, and all the white shad in the tank also spilled into the fish pond beside the road. "The purchase price of white shad is 14 yuan per jin, and the fish alone caused losses of several thousand yuan."
As of the reporter's deadline, because the road at the accident scene was narrow and the foundation was soft, large rescue machinery could not enter, and the rescue work had reached a deadlock.
