初步調查顯示,28日10時10分許,重慶萬州區(qū)一輛22路公交車行至萬州區(qū)長江二橋時,突然越過中心實線(crossed the solid center line),闖入對向車道,與一輛正常行駛的小轎車(collided with an oncoming car)相撞后沖破護欄墜入長江(broke through the guardrail and plunged into the Yangtze River)。

道路上的車道分界線一般分為白色虛線(broken white line)、白色實線(solid white line)、黃色實線(solid yellow line)。白色虛線是分隔同向車的,在安全的情況下可以變道(change lane)、超車(overtake)。白色實線也是分隔同向車的,不過不可變道。黃色實線是分隔不同向行駛的車的( mark the center of a road used for two-way traffic),既可作分界線,也可做中心線,不可變道。
水下機器人先后兩次下水,最終確認墜江車輛位于水下約68米處(the bus had sunk 68 meters below the surface),蛙人救援隊、吊船(salvage lifting vessel)等專業(yè)打撈力量正全力開展工作。

目前,搜救船正在車輛墜江水域進行掃測,待車輛位置精確定位后,將根據(jù)打撈方案,派潛水員(professional divers)到水下定位起吊。
While the identities of the two bodies are being verified, the city government has organized community workers to interview neighborhoods to find out identities of possible victims.
在確認兩名遇難者身份的同時,重慶市政府已經(jīng)組織社區(qū)工作人員走訪周邊社區(qū),查找公交車上其他乘客的身份。
