4月23号下午四点左右，重庆城口县国道G211龙田段突发危岩垮塌。当时，一辆小型轿车正好经过这里，司机名叫罗广平。在整个垮塌事件发生的5秒钟内，正因为他的镇定处理，才让他和儿子与死神擦肩而过。

罗广平告诉记者，下午三点四十分左右，自己从学校接到儿子罗东准备回家，可是在经过龙田乡三岔河二桥附近时，突然车顶上方突然掉下来一块石头。

事故车主 罗广平：刚开始车顶掉了一个小石头下来//我就估计是塌方了//我一瞬间也没有踩刹车就使劲往前冲 加油//后面还没有一秒钟的时间（落石）瞬间就下来了//所幸就是砸的后面车尾部分//所幸就是我们车也冲出来了人也没事。

罗广平回忆，整个过程也就几秒钟时间，在他将车开出垮塌区域以后，担心还有二次塌方，于是赶紧和儿子弃车逃生。


记者在现场看到，罗广平驾驶的小型轿车 后挡风玻璃已经完全碎掉，前挡风玻璃被掉下的落石砸出一个大窟窿，车内还有当时掉落的石块，车身也受损严重。虽然自己顺利逃生，但事后想起此事罗广平还是心有余悸。


目前，事发地已经实施了临时交通管制，城口县公安局交巡警大队派有专人值守，对于车主罗广平在处理突发事件时的做法，交巡警也给他点了赞。

此外，记者还从城口县公路养护中心了解到，此次垮塌预计有200余方，因为山上还有落石。等雨停之后，相关单位将会进行排危和清理工作。从城口县城到城口县北屏乡、陕西岚皋等地的朋友们需绕行。（视频由重庆台提供）
