According to Chinese language media reports, the military vehicle was taking a turn at around 10:10pm when it approached the bend at the wrong angle. When the driver backed up to correct his turn, the trailer hit a civilian car stopped behind the vehicle.

The PAC-3 missiles were not damaged in the incident.

The military vehicle belongs to the Air Force Anti-Aircraft Defense unit and was on a routine training mission at the time.
