Dalian, January 30 (Wang Jinhai and Zhang Shian) – On the fifth day of the first lunar month in the year of the Dragon, while people were still immersed in the joy and celebration of the festival, a man from Wafangdian City, Liaoning Province caused the deaths of two innocent lives due to drunk driving late at night. Another person was injured, plunging four families into the depths of sorrow.

At around 23:10 on January 27, the fifth day of the Spring Festival, the accident duty room of the Wafangdian City Traffic Police Detachment received a phone report stating that on the Chengba Line south of the Wafangdian City Yuantai Town Government, a car had collided with three pedestrians. The hit-and-run car fled the scene immediately after the collision, resulting in two deaths on the spot and one person being rushed to the hospital.

Upon receiving the report, Wu Wenhui, instructor of the Wafangdian Traffic Police Detachment, Li Quan, deputy director, and Ge Jian, captain of the accident team, immediately led investigators Liu Haibo and Wang Youfeng to the accident site. At the scene, they found a large number of scattered remnants of the hit-and-run vehicle. On the cold cement road lay two young men who had left the world forever. After verification, the victims who died on the spot were identified as Qu某某 and Gao某, aged merely 16 and 17 respectively. The injured young man was identified as Wang某某, also only 17 years old.

Given the severity of the case, Wu Wenhui and Li Quan decided on the spot to split their forces into two groups to search for the hit-and-run vehicle. Around 1:00 AM on January 28, the hit-and-run driver Zheng某某 was captured at the crossroads of Lixing Village in Yuantai Town, Wafangdian City. At the time of capture, Zheng某某 was heavily intoxicated and unclear about the details of the accident. Zheng某某 claimed that before the accident, he drank three bottles of beer in a supermarket. After drinking, he intended to go to his mother's house but took a wrong turn. Upon reaching the location of the accident, instead of stopping, he continued driving. It wasn't until the front windshield of his car was shattered during the collision and he started feeling cold that he realized he had been involved in an accident.

On January 29, following a forensic examination of the blood sample taken from Zheng某某, it was determined that his blood alcohol content was 96.2. Currently, Zheng某某 has been criminally detained by the police for causing death through drunk driving and fleeing the scene of a traffic accident. He will now await legal judgment.
