On November 9, netizens posted videos stating that after temperatures in Baoding, Hebei, dropped below freezing, urban management and sanitation departments were still conducting morning sprinkling operations. This caused ice to form on many road surfaces, leading citizens riding bikes to take their children to school to fall along with their vehicles. Some netizens reported that more than 15 pedestrians fell in succession near the Xiti Bridge on Tianwei Road, and two traffic accidents occurred in one morning.
