Those that were rescued were treated at the hospital. At least 19 fire trucks, 21 rubber boats and 97 rescuers, including 17 divers, were part of the rescue team.
The Anshun police said in a statement that :
“Zhang was unsatisfied with his life and with the demolition of his rented public house. In order to get noticed, he committed an extreme criminal act,”
According to police, Zhang normally began his shift at noon, but on the day of the crash, he asked another driver if he could start earlier.
Investigations revealed that he bought a bottle of strong Chinese alcohol “baijiu” hours before getting behind the wheels.
Just before the crash, he allegedly sent his girlfriend a voice message on popular messaging app WeChat, expressing “world-weary” feelings.
Shortly before he drove the bus into the reservoir, he was seen drinking from a plastic beverage bottle in the driver’s seat. At least 200ml of baijiu was found by police near the crash site.
