At 15:30 on February 27, in front of the Lüzhou Roast Duck Shop on Anqing Road in the provincial capital, a young woman named Xiao Chen cried as she got into the police car. Her silver-white Mercedes-Benz was parked against traffic with its nose facing west. Many passers-by sighed after seeing it and said, "Such a luxury car has been 'wasted' by her." It's hard for the public to imagine that in the past 10 minutes, illegal reversing, knocking down barriers and people, fleeing in the wrong direction, even trying to bribe the chasing policemen with big banknotes... all these farces were caused by her. Recalling the incident, even Officer Wu from the Luyang Patrol Police who chased and intercepted her all the way couldn't help but say, "This girl is too bold."
First Scene
Knocking down barriers and people, refusing to show the driver's license and fled
The starting point of the accident happened at the gate of Yangtze Hotel on the bustling Yangtze Road. Several witnesses introduced that at around 15:15 on that day, a silver-white Mercedes-Benz was parked in an awkward position with its nose facing northwest and its tail southeast on the bicycle lane in front of the hotel. "Wow, this Benz has blocked the way, so no bicycles can pass," someone said.
The driver was a young woman wearing a white down jacket. Seeing the complaints behind her car, she started reversing. Unexpectedly, "whoosh", more than ten meters of barriers between the bicycle lane and the slow lane were knocked over.
There was some hesitation on the girl's face. Later, in the traffic police station, she said that she was hesitating whether to get out of the car to pick up the barriers. At this time, Officer Wu from the Luyang Patrol Police team who was patrolling received the instruction and arrived here at the first time.
"Miss, you are reversing illegally and have knocked down the barriers, please show your driver's license," said Officer Wu. To his surprise, "the woman in the Mercedes didn't even get out of the car, continued reversing, and the whole body of the car ran over the fallen barriers and entered the fast lane," said witness Master Cai. The woman hit a motorcyclist during reversing and almost hit the nearby police car. The man shouted that his leg hurt and asked the girl to get out of the car, but unexpectedly, the girl stepped on the gas pedal and fled in a puff of smoke.
Second Scene
Fleeing in the wrong direction, patrol police chased and intercepted all the way
The "Mercedes girl" drove along Yangtze Road from west to east in the wrong direction, and Officer Wu immediately got into the Luyang 407 patrol control police car and chased quickly.
"I didn't expect her to run away, attention, attention! A silver-white Benz reversed from Yangtze Road into Liuan Road..." Officer Wu reported to the command center via the walkie-talkie while reminding the driving policeman to turn on the warning light and remind pedestrians to pay attention to safety.
Officer Wu introduced that after entering Liuan Road, the speed of the Mercedes slowed down compared to before, but it still exceeded the speed limit of the section. "Seeing that there was a police car chasing, the 'Mercedes girl' turned left and drove into Anqing Road," he introduced. Since Anqing Road only allows one-way traffic (from west to east), the "Mercedes girl" reversed again, "I asked her to stop immediately, but she still had no intention of stopping."
In just a few seconds, the Mercedes was almost at the entrance of Chenghuang Temple on Anqing Road. Seeing that the section was densely populated and easy to hurt people, Officer Wu called again through the walkie-talkie, requiring the Mercedes to stop.
After the Mercedes slowed down, the 407 patrol car quickly surrounded and successfully intercepted the Mercedes at the door of Lüzhou Roast Duck Shop.
Third Scene
"Mercedes girl" took out cash and tried to bribe the patrolman
After the Mercedes stopped, the woman in the car didn't get out at first, then under pressure, she opened the door. The silver-white Mercedes was parked against traffic with its nose facing west, and many passers-by sighed after seeing it: "Such a luxury car has been 'wasted' by her."
Some roadside vendors said that the young girl looked about twenty-five or six years old, quite petite, and such a "dominant" parking posture didn't seem like something she would do. Officer Wu asked the girl to show her driver's license, and the other side said no. "After getting out of the car, the woman hurriedly took out her mobile phone to make a call, and the car key was tightly held in her hand."
To his surprise, "after a few minutes, the girl walked up to me and took out a bunch of hundred-yuan bills from her wallet, trying hard to give me the money and begging me to let her go."
"This money should be taken back!" Officer Wu firmly rejected the woman's request and controlled her on the spot. Soon, the traffic police arrived by car.
At this moment, it was 15:30, and the girl cried as she got into the police car. In the past 10 minutes, illegal reversing, hitting barriers and people, fleeing in the wrong direction, even bribing the chasing policemen with big banknotes... After going through the incident in his mind, Officer Wu exclaimed, "This girl is too bold."
■Dialogue:
"Afraid of not having the strength to support the barrier, so I ran"
At 16:00 on the same day, the reporter learned from the local traffic police team that the "Mercedes girl" was surnamed Chen, 25 years old, and from another place. Regarding the luxury Benz, she repeatedly said, "It's not mine." When the police asked her to show her driver's license, Xiao Chen said, "I have a license, but I forgot to bring it." After saying these words, Xiao Chen couldn't help crying.
The police learned that Xiao Chen was from another place, and the owner of the luxury Benz involved in the accident was her relative. That day, she drove her relative's Benz to handle affairs on Yangtze Road and illegally parked it by the roadside. Currently, Xiao Chen's family members, upon learning that their daughter had caused trouble, are on their way from another place to Hefei. In the traffic police team, the reporter had a brief conversation with Xiao Chen.
Reporter: Why did you flee after hitting someone?
Xiao Chen: I didn't know I hit someone, I didn't feel it when reversing!
Reporter: But the person was indeed injured.
Xiao Chen: If I really hit someone, I'm very sorry, and I will properly handle the compensation matters.
Reporter: Why did you continue reversing and flee after knocking down the barriers?
Xiao Chen: After knocking down the barriers, I looked back and saw that more than ten meters had collapsed. At that time, I thought that if I got out of the car, I wouldn't have the strength to pick up such a long barrier, so I hesitated. Then the police car came, and I panicked completely.
Reporter: Didn't you know that the patrol car was chasing you? Why drive in the wrong direction?
Xiao Chen: No, I didn't know. At that time, my brain was all messed up, and I just wanted to leave quickly...
Currently, the traffic police department is further investigating the details of the accident.
