While passing through the Zheduohe gas station in Kangding City, the opposite truck brake malfunctioned and collided with four cars in a row before colliding head-on with the team. Due to the narrow road, the front row members found it difficult to take refuge, ultimately resulting in one death and five injuries to the team members."
