August 23 is the day when Zhonghe Ancient Town in Danzhou City starts the market.
On this day, many residents around go to the market early.
Surprisingly, an accident occurred on Fuxing Street, a snack street in the market.
The decorative components on the exterior of a two-story building suddenly fell off and hit three elderly people.
Reporter Feng Yuanzheng: The reporter is now at the scene of the incident.
On the floor behind the reporter, you can see a pile of cement blocks.
On individual cement blocks, we can see that they are connected to steel bars, and the thickness of this steel bar is not much different from the thickness of the reporter’s little thumb.
According to nearby residents, this pile of cement blocks fell off the exterior of the two-story building behind the reporter.
Standing slightly further away, we can notice that the cylindrical decoration on the outside of the second floor has completely fallen off.
Resident of Fuxing Street in Zhonghe Town, Danzhou City: I just listened to my child talking inside, and she spoke loudly.
I don’t understand whether our house collapsed or what.
When I looked, everyone had already hit me and I had already gone to the hospital.
Resident of Fuxing Street in Zhonghe Town, Danzhou City: It fell down on its own and happened to pass two elderly people before hitting him.
Nearby residents introduced that they only noticed when they heard the sound that the two elderly people had been hit on the head.
At that time, a nearby grandfather was hit and his arm was scratched.
Resident of Fuxing Street in Zhonghe Town, Danzhou City: One said he had medicine and left on his own.
The most serious ones were those two.
Fortunately, one was wearing a helmet, otherwise he would have been crushed to death.
It was all blood, so he ran here and crouched down, unable to leave.
After the incident, the two elderly people with head injuries were sent to the Zhonghe Town Health Center for treatment of their wounds.
On the day of the interview, the reporter also came to the health center to inquire about the situation.
Medical staff introduced that on the morning of the same day, two elderly people were treating wounds in the debridement room.
One of them was seriously injured and was transferred to a hospital in Danzhou city for further treatment.
At the scene, the reporter contacted Mr.
Wu, the family member of the severely injured elderly person.
I sewed 15 stitches on my head, and upon examination, even if he hit my head, it didn’t have much impact, “Mr.
Wu said.
They are from Yingzhou Town, and my father is 69 years old this year.
That morning, my father rode an electric bike alone to Zhonghe Town to go to the market.
Around 9 o’clock that day, a warm-hearted person called him and he realized that his father had been hit in the head by a detached decorative component.
Subsequently, Mr.
Wu rushed to the scene and found that his father’s safety helmet had been smashed through, with a seven or eight centimeter long wound on his head
