According to the local traffic management brigade, the accident occurred on the outskirts of Nanchang city in Jiangxi province. The brigade said it was unclear how many or what type of vehicles were involved and the cause was being investigated.

Efforts to monitor the condition of vehicles and the number of drivers and passengers are increased during the holiday, as the Lunar Year is an important annual occasion for family reunions in China and millions of expatriates return to their hometowns. With the end of most covid-19 restrictions, a large number of people are expected to travel during the week-long festive season starting January 22 this year.
