A car collided with a toll booth facility, causing a huge fire and killing four people in eastern China.

Video filmed in the city of Hangzhou in Zhejiang Province on June 5 shows a white car entering and passing through a toll station without any signs of deceleration.

It then directly crashed into the exit barrier, causing the vehicle to spin sideways. Within a matter of seconds, the car burst into flames, and the fire quickly intensified.

Despite the valiant efforts of toll booth staff and passing drivers who rushed forward with firefighting equipment in hand to rescue the occupants, the ferocity of the blaze prevented any successful rescue attempts.

Eventually, the vehicle was completely engulfed in flames, leaving behind a scene of utter devastation.

The vehicle involved in the accident has been identified as a Volkswagen ID.4 X, a fully electric SUV.

On June 9, the automaker involved in the incident responded, stating that the vehicle was travelling at a speed of 71.15m/h at the time of the collision.

Further details reveal that all four victims, including the driver, were male. The vehicle was a ride-hailing car, with the driver frequently accepting orders from a platform to transport passengers from Hangzhou Xiaoshan Airport to downtown Hangzhou or neighboring cities.

The responsible party from Hangzhou Mingde Car Rental Company, the company to which the vehicle belonged, expressed that no record of the incident order was found on the platform, suggesting that the driver may have taken a private order.

The exact cause and responsibility for this accident, whether it was due to vehicle quality issues, driver health factors, or on-site handling, will only be determined once the police investigation concludes.

6月5日5时43分许，一辆浙A牌照的新能源小型普通客车沿S2沪杭高速驶出杭州收费站时，碰撞收费站设施后起火，造成车上4人死亡。目前，公安机关正在对事故进一步调查中。
从出事视频中看到，这辆白色小车在下高速进入收费站、过收费站都没有减速迹象，径直撞上出口隔道设施，车子打横，两三秒后就起火，火势迅速变大。然后，收费站工作人员及路过司机手持灭火设备上前灭火救人，但火势猛烈没有救助成功，直到车辆被烧得面目全非。
据了解，出事车辆为上汽大众ID.4X，一辆纯电动SUV。根据公开信息，大众ID.4X搭载的是NCM811（镍钴锰三元锂电池）体系三元锂电池，电芯由宁德时代（300750.SZ）提供。
9日，事故汽车品牌方面回应称，该车辆碰撞车速为114.5千米/小时。
据了解，车上4名死者(包括司机)都是男性，车辆是一辆网约车，为新能源车辆(纯电动车)，司机平时经常通过平台接订单在杭州萧山机场载客到杭州市区或杭州周边城市。涉事车辆所属的杭州明德汽车租赁公司相关负责人则表示，平台没查到事发订单，可能是司机接的私单。
这起事故事发原因及事故责任，到底是车辆质量问题，还是司机身体原因或者司机临场处置问题仍需待警方进一步调查的结果。
