CCTV News: Starting from the afternoon of January 4, rain, snow and ice weather occurred in Badong County, Enshi Prefecture, Hubei, which had a certain impact on road traffic. Multiple departments acted quickly to ensure the safety of passing vehicles through 24-hour uninterrupted patrols.
At 1 a.m. on January 5, the snow thickness of Luconpo Town, Badong County, Enshi Prefecture exceeded 5 cm. A car was slippery due to the snow and ice, and was stuck on the sloped road. Local patrol police helped install anti-skid chains and assisted the driver in pushing the vehicle away from the ice and snow sections.
Zhang Rui, a police officer from Luconopo Police Station of Badong County Public Security Bureau of Hubei Province, introduced that since Luconopo is a high-altitude area, with a high altitude and a large temperature difference between day and night, he will receive a large number of police incidents every night. The police took 24-hour uninterrupted patrols, reminding passing vehicles, and helping to install anti-skid chains for trapped vehicles to ensure safe and smooth roads.
At the same time, the highway maintenance department has also urgently allocated personnel and equipment to organize road maintenance workers to break the ice and remove snow on important sections, bridges and other sections of accident-prone roads, and to ensure the safe and smooth travel of the people.
