Bias read (Center): The article presents a factual account of a tragic accident without overtly emphasizing political perspectives or ideological stances. It focuses on the incident itself, quoting official statements and providing details about the victims and the investigation. There is no evident bias toward any政治立场

Why these scores (Factual 85 · Objective 90): Factuality is high as the article provides specific details from official sources like the governor and police chief, aligning with cross-source consensus. Objectivity is strong as the reporting remains neutral, presenting facts without emotional language or bias.
