There was a deafening loud noise, and the moving vehicle was instantly swallowed by the mud, and the life and death of the people in the car were uncertain.

Witnesses told that it was about 2:10 in the morning, a loud bang suddenly exploded, and the road surface at K11+900 meters in the direction of Fujian on the Meida Expressway collapsed instantly, and the drivers who were driving were caught off guard, seeing that the vehicle fell straight into the abyss and was completely swallowed by the swarthy mud.
"I can't believe my family left me like this. A Mr. Yang said that his eldest sister's family of five was killed on the way to the incident, and the whereabouts of four people are unknown. What is even more heart-wrenching is that one of the 4-year-old children was buried and suffered an intracranial hemorrhage, and is now being treated in intensive care.
Another Ms. Zhang learned the bad news in a panic. She explained that she was still in contact with five relatives at 11 o'clock that night, but who expected that just a few hours later, their car fell into the abyss and their whereabouts are still unknown.
Yet, just as darkness looms over hope, a ray of light is still shining. In the early morning of the same day, the emergency department of Meizhou People's Hospital immediately set up a treatment team, and the doctors worked together to treat them. It is reported that although the condition of the injured is serious, they remain generally stable for the time being.
After the Meida Expressway landslide disaster, volunteers and caring citizens also came to donate blood for support. From the evening of the 1st to the morning of the 2nd alone, more than 500 people participated, and more than 700 people are expected to follow-up. Some citizens said that there was not much they could do but contribute to the wounded.
Wen Yongdeng, Secretary of the Party Committee of the Meizhou Emergency Management Bureau, pointed out that the rescue faced five major difficulties and risks: first, there were many vehicles and people involved; second, the rescue operation surface was narrow, and it was difficult for large-scale equipment to play a role in the early stage; third, some vehicles were buried by the soil when burned; fourth, the surrounding geological conditions were complex, which was easy to cause secondary disasters; and fifth, the rescue forces were diverse, and it was difficult to organize and coordinate.
Despite the difficulties, the Guangdong Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government attached great importance to it and sent provincial leaders to the front line overnight. Huang Kunming, Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, came to the scene in person, paid silent tribute to the victims, and demanded that search and rescue efforts be strengthened, the injured should be treated with all efforts, and information should be reported openly and transparently. It is foreseeable that the work of all parties in the aftermath of the disaster will be carried out step by step and in an orderly manner.
This sudden landslide catastrophe has brought deep trauma to the world, the cold loss of life, the wailing and despair of family members, the painstaking treatment of doctors, and the painstaking help of everyone...... All this shows the insignificance of human beings in the face of nature. May the deceased rest in peace, the injured recover soon, relatives and friends mourn smoothly, and the whole society will always bear the alarm bell of tragedy and pray together that such a tragedy will not happen again.
