It entered the left turn curve at 102K+047 at a speed of about 70 km/h, where it tilted significantly to the right and then overturned at 102K+115. The tractor trailer crashed into the outer guardrail and continued to roll, and finally stopped in the grass outside of the shoulder at 102K+140. The front of the tractor was severely deformed, the tank body and cover on top were damaged, and the sodium hypochlorite leaked onto lanes in both directions. The driver was killed in the occurrence.
