It was revealed that a traffic accident with casualties occurred on Saturday night on the De Shang highway in Tongling, Anhui province, and the vehicle involved was a Xiaomi SU7.

The accident left three people dead, a Dahebao reporter learned Tuesday from the government office of Zongyang County in Tongling City.

Tuesday morning, staff of the Tongling City Emergency Management Bureau said that the accident is a one-party liability accident, as well as a road traffic accident, not a safety accident.

"It [the traffic police detachment] reported this situation to us after the accident. At that time, we understood that it was a unilateral accident. The traffic police had already determined that it was a unilateral traffic accident."

A netizen who claimed to be a family member of the vehicle passengers said, "On the evening of March 29, the vehicle hit the guardrail, causing the door to lock, the battery to explode, and the three people in the car burned alive."
