On October 6, a number of netizens posted a video saying: On the way back from the National Day holiday, near the Chongqing Zhongzhou service area of the Shanghai-Chongqing Expressway, many car tires were punctured with thumbtacks. ”
On the morning of October 7, Master Fang, the person in charge of the FAW Repair Factory in Zhongxian County, Chongqing, told reporters that the video circulating on the Internet was true.
"At about 9 o'clock in the evening on the 6th, a car owner called me and said that the tire was stuck with a thumbtack, and he was worried that it was unsafe and wanted to change the tire." Master Fang said that the owner of the car arrived at the repair shop at 10:40 p.m., and it was already more than 11 o'clock after changing the tire. "The owner said that the thumbtackin on the tire was a truck dropped on the highway, and the relevant department compensated him 800 yuan."
"Another owner called me that night and said that the tire was punctured by a thumbtackin because our shop didn't have the tire he needed, and he said he would contact another repair shop."
Master Fang said that it is very dangerous for tires to be pierced by nails on the highway, and if it is a human factor, it must be suspected of violating the law and committing crimes, and no one in the repair shop will do this, and no one dares to do it. It is hoped that the relevant departments will thoroughly investigate the cause and eliminate hidden dangers in time.
