After the family visited the 6th floor for a while, Zhang Wei discussed with his wife, who took her son to the 7th floor to "walk around", while Zhang Wei waited in front of a children's clothing store near the escalator on the 6th floor. Unexpectedly, this is the farewell of Zhang Wei and his wife.
The on-site surveillance video obtained by the reporter shows that Liu Juan took her son upstairs by escalator. At the top, the cover between the elevator and the floor suddenly turned over after stepping on the lady, and Liu Juan was caught in the gap. At the critical moment, she struggled to lift her unhurt son. It took the staff four hours to rescue her, but she had no vital signs.
On the evening of 27th, Chen Guanxin, director of Jingzhou Safety Supervision Bureau and head of accident investigation team, revealed at the press conference that, in fact, five minutes before the incident, the staff of the shopping mall had found that the cover plate was loose and tilted, but no emergency measures such as stopping elevator maintenance were taken.
At present, Jingzhou has set up a special investigation team and is investigating the cause of the accident. According to the preliminary investigation and analysis, the connection between the front plate of the escalator and the adjacent cover plate is loose, and the cover plate turns over when the party steps on the end of the loose and upturned cover plate. The cause of looseness needs further investigation, but the accident has been identified as a safety production responsibility accident.
I told Liu Juan's relatives that until the relevant situation is clearly investigated and the responsibility determination result is clear, we will not consider the aftermath such as negotiation compensation for the time being.
