"Help! Quickly!"

"Where's 120? Call an ambulance quickly!"

"Call the police! Call the police!"

The already noisy scene became even more chaotic due to this sudden incident.

Many people cautiously leaned over the railing to look down.

At a height of nearly 10 meters, in a snowy and windy environment, those looking down felt their legs tremble.

The vehicle that was hit was seen with its rear end facing down on the ground.

Next to it is a ginkgo tree that has just broken in the middle.

The snow was littered with engine hoods, parts, and broken branches.

Although the car was facing upwards, the deployed airbags blocked everyone's view.

The truck driver, who had been dragged from his vehicle, slumped to the ground, repeatedly muttering, "It's over...it's over..."

Soon, traffic police, medical personnel, and firefighters arrived at the scene one after another.

The traffic congestion was relieved and traffic flowed smoothly thanks to the guidance of traffic police.

Some medical personnel quickly examined the injured on the bridge, while others accompanied the firefighters to the area below the bridge.

The seemingly horrific scene beneath the bridge was a shock to everyone present.

Nearly a third of the front of the car had collapsed, two-thirds of the rear had caved in, all the windows were shattered, and there were scattered parts and tree branches all around...

Fortunately, the A and B pillars of the car body were not severely deformed.

The rescue workers standing outside the vehicle could still hear sounds coming from inside:

"Car owner, please don't give up. We have called an ambulance for you, and the rescue will be there soon."

However, when they learned that the car had a 30-degree lithium iron phosphate battery, the rescue team became nervous.

With the vehicle so badly damaged, no one can guarantee when the battery might explode.

The rescuer carrying the cutting machine walked up calmly.

Instinctively, I stood on tiptoe, reached out and pulled, and click! The car door opened.

The rescuers paused for a moment, then threw down the cutting machine and forcefully pushed open the car door.

After clearing away the airbags that were obstructing the view, the bloody and mangled scene I had imagined did not materialize.

Although Zhou's father was still unconscious, he was securely fastened to the driver's seat by the seatbelt and his breathing was steady and strong.

His face seemed a little red and swollen, and these marks vaguely formed the three characters 'SU7'.

Under the guidance of medical staff, everyone worked together and easily rescued the unconscious Mr. Zhou from the car.

Watching the returning ambulances, some people sighed:

"What a lucky escape!"

The operator of the cutting machine clicked his tongue:

"The driver's seat was surrounded by four airbags, and the ginkgo tree also cushioned the impact. He was truly lucky to survive."

-----------------

Zhou Wentao, who had just returned home, was helping his mother pick vegetables.

The sudden ringing of the phone shattered this moment of warmth.

Without bothering to pack their things, the two took a taxi to the First People's Hospital of Jiangyang City.

On the way, Zhou Wentao tried to remain calm and comforted his mother beside him, since the doctor had said on the phone that the person was fine.

But ultimately, he fell from the bridge, and in Zhou Wentao's view, it was already a miracle that he survived.

What does it mean to have only abrasions all over the body?

Was the patient information verified incorrectly?

Before seeing the person, these doubts always make one feel uneasy.

Hospital, inpatient department.

When Zhou's mother saw her husband lying in the hospital bed receiving an IV drip, she went limp. If Zhou Wentao hadn't been supporting her, she probably would have sat down on the ground.

"Are you two the patient's family members?" The doctor who came in for rounds looked a little pale.

Seeing Zhou Wentao nod, the doctor picked up the X-ray films hanging above the bed and said:

"An MRI was taken, and there was no evidence of organ bleeding or fractures."

However, he suffered multiple soft tissue contusions and bruises on his thighs, arms, and abdomen, and his face was red and swollen.

Seemingly noticing Zhou Wentao's confusion, the doctor wrote on the medical record as he spoke:

"He's just asleep right now, don't worry."

The patient was conscious for a while, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to contact you so quickly.

However, considering the patient's age and experience, after confirming that the patient was not seriously injured, we gave him some glucose infusion as a placebo.

Once the person wakes up, they can be discharged from the hospital.

Of course, if you're still worried, you can stay in the hospital for observation for two days.

"Observe for two more days."

The doctor was not surprised to hear Zhou Wentao's decision. He told them to press the button by the bed to call the nurse if anything happened, and then left.

Three days later, Zhou's father was discharged from the hospital.

To celebrate the father's survival, the family of three decided to have a simple lunch at a nearby restaurant.

After taking a sip of tea, Mr. Zhou smacked his lips:

"Modern cars are really good, sturdy. If it were that old clunker from home, I reckon I'd be in the furnace by now."

"A car alone isn't enough." Zhou Wentao poured water for his father. "The traffic police said that if it weren't for the ginkgo tree and the collapse of the trunk acting as a buffer, the person would most likely be dead if they had fallen directly to the ground without any protective measures."

"Lack of protection? I'm wearing my seatbelt, aren't I? Let me tell you, this car is incredibly rigid; it beeps all the time if you don't wear your seatbelt. But thankfully, it has this reminder."

Mr. Zhou touched his cheek, still feeling a bit shaken.

Zhou Wentao shrugged:

"If a vehicle were to fall freely from a height of 10 meters without the cushioning effect of the ginkgo trees, its speed would be at least 50 km/h."

The airbags deployed fully during the first impact.

This means that in the event of a fall, your only protection is your seatbelt.

Fortunately, the ginkgo tree slowed the car down and caused the rear of the car to land vertically, allowing the trunk to collapse and absorb the impact.

This series of coincidences is what made you unharmed, otherwise...

Upon hearing this, Mr. Zhou pondered for a moment:

"In a couple of days, let's pick an auspicious day and I'll take you to that ginkgo tree so you can become its godmother."

"Cough cough cough..."

In the afternoon, Zhou Wentao arrived at the parking lot specifically for accident vehicles.

Looking at his wrecked car, Zhou Wentao felt a pang of sadness.

My brand new car, which I'd only had for less than a month, is gone just like that.

The loan repayments haven't even started yet!

I felt sorry for my car; it hadn't used a single drop of fuel since arriving home, it had only been charging.

"My resolve was firm, facing north, like a thunderclap from a clear sky..."

The ringtone broke Zhou Wentao's turbulent emotions.

"Are you Mr. Zhou Wentao? We are from the Lingyun SU7 vehicle insurance claims department."

"it's me."

"That's right. According to the Insurance Law, which officially came into effect on October 1 this year, the vehicle damage insurance you previously purchased from a certain car insurance platform involved illegal practices of over-insurance and under-compensation."

After multiple rounds of negotiations, we have secured a reasonable compensation amount for you, and the claim has now been processed, totaling 11.4 yuan.

When are you free to come over and sign something?

"I have time now." Zhou Wentao felt that the sky had become a little brighter.

There's no time to dwell on the past!

They went home and called their father, and the two drove their old car to the claims center.

Sign, transfer money, and settle the loan account.

Subsequently, Zhou Wentao contacted the staff member who had previously sold him the car.

Place your order.

When they arrived, the two of them drove an old car.

When they left, the two of them drove two new cars.

Lingyun SU7, sales increased by 2.

A certain insurance policy: Car wreckage +1.
