The accident site was on a main road halfway from Mijia Town to Yuequan Village, right over a steep slope. Cycling uphill was very strenuous, but it was effortless to ride downhill.
When Sisi and Tian Xinhua arrived at the scene around a bit past noon, as Tian Manjin mentioned, the accident had occurred around ten in the morning. The scene was cordoned off, with a police car parked by the roadside, and several traffic police were inspecting the site and taking notes.
Tian Mantong was also at the scene, looking very serious. He nodded to Sisi and her husband. A driver in his forties, standing beside Tian Mantong with a pained expression, kept saying, "Boss, I didn't violate any traffic rules, they came out of nowhere, and I hit the brakes as soon as I saw them."
It seemed the driver was also terrified. Tian Mantong reassuringly patted the driver's shoulder and asked him to rest in a shady spot. The driver was pale from shock combined with the hot weather, looking quite pitiful.
