After the traffic accident, the injured were carried to the ambulance, but the offender suddenly drove away before the police arrived. The onlookers were upset about this, so a car and a motorcycle chased after the offender to help the police arrest him... This scene happened in Huaibei City on the evening of the 11th.
The offender fled after hitting someone
At 7:20 PM on the 11th, Ms. Wu was on her way home from work. When she walked to the zebra crossing opposite Huili Road Primary School, a car suddenly rushed towards her, and Ms. Wu was instantly thrown off and lost consciousness.
At that time, Mr. Zhang, a motorbike taxi driver, was passing by the scene, "The front windshield of that car was broken, and there was a person lying five or six meters in front of the car." Mr. Zhang said that about five minutes later, an ambulance arrived at the scene, and the injured person was carried onto the ambulance.
"After the ambulance left, I suddenly heard someone shout 'where are you going', then the car that hit the person started moving." Mr. Zhang told the reporter that the onlookers all surrounded the slowly starting car, "The driver (offender) saw everyone getting ready to surround him, suddenly accelerated, and rushed out of the crowd, then drove away."
Angry people chased all the way
"Seeing the offending car escape, dozens of people present were very angry and tried to stop it, but failed." Mr. Zhang said that when he was hesitating whether to chase or not, "I saw a private car follow. At this moment, an old man walking for exercise pushed me hard and said 'don't let him run away', so I quickly rode my bike to follow."
The offender was driving very fast, along Mengshan Road into Gucheng Road, then turned south into Suixi Road. It was already three or four kilometers away from the incident location. "I and a private car ahead have been chasing the offending car." The two chased all the way to the repair shop near Suixi Road where the offender finally slowed down and stopped. Mr. Zhang quickly dialed 110, and then the police car arrived and arrested the offender.
Yesterday morning, I contacted Officer Li from the Huaibei Traffic Accident Team. Officer Li said that on the day of the incident, he was on duty, "The private car driver who has been chasing the offender is a citizen surnamed Lu, who has been in contact with the 110 command center and timely reported the location of the offender."
Currently, the offender Zhu has been criminally detained.
The offender's family has apologized
At around 4 PM yesterday, I saw the injured Ms. Wu at the Huaibei Miners Hospital. She has now passed the critical period, but still has difficulty speaking. According to Ms. Wu's aunt and uncle-in-law, the mother and wife of the offender have visited Ms. Wu at the hospital on the 12th and apologized for Zhu's fleeing behavior, and also agreed to bear Ms. Wu's medical expenses. "The attitude of the offender's family is very good," Ms. Wu's aunt said. The compensation issue will be coordinated between both parties after the hospital examination results come out.
