In Hangzhou’s Qianjiang Tunnel, a woman climbed from the passenger seat onto her vehicle’s roof and stood in the middle lane, forcing a following truck to swerve dangerously. She was taken home by relatives; police are investigating motives.

Social Context

Highway tunnel incidents involving erratic behavior often trigger mental health assessments under China’s Mental Health Law, which mandates non-coercive evaluation before detention. Public safety interventions prioritize de-escalation over arrest—reflecting growing recognition of psychiatric crises as medical, not criminal, events.

Safety Tip

If witnessing similar behavior on highways, alert authorities immediately via emergency number 12122—do not attempt direct intervention due to high-speed collision risks.
