The identification conclusion notice issued by the traffic police told the reporter of the Information Times, Huang Peko. In front of the media yesterday, all the families of the deceased were sobbing. The reporter of the Information Times, Huang Like, took a photo. According to the Information Times (reporter Cai Shenglong), on the morning of May 7, a runaway car accident occurred on Yile Road, in which a person was run over and died. The culprit Yang turned himself in to the police two days after he fled. The relatives of the deceased received the identification conclusion notice from the police the day before yesterday, stating that no alcohol was detected in the blood sample taken from Yang. Another appraisal report stated that there was nothing wrong with the hit-and-run vehicle. Since there were no brake marks left at the scene and the collision point could not be detected, it was impossible to determine the speed of the vehicle. The relatives of the deceased contacted the media voluntarily yesterday, expressing their inability to accept this conclusion.
"The culprit had high-level guidance"
At about 1 p.m. yesterday afternoon, the family of the deceased Ms. Li invited the media for a meeting and said that the identification result of not detecting alcohol in the blood sample taken from the culprit Yang was expected, but they still felt "disappointed and angry."
"The traffic police check for drunk driving by 'blowing' on the spot. After fleeing for two days and then turning himself in to the police, the alcohol test would naturally not detect anything. The perpetrator clearly wanted to avoid legal risks, and there must have been high-level guidance behind him."
"Eye witnesses at the scene said he (Yang) must have been drinking. The distance from where he ate late-night snacks to the scene was short, and judging from the extent of the vehicle damage, the speed at that time must have been very fast. He claimed to have six years of driving experience, so if he hadn't been drinking, how could such a basic mistake happen?"
"He said he hit someone to avoid a taxi in the middle, but we saw the surveillance video at the traffic police detachment, and there was no taxi passing by at the time of the incident. The sports car directly collided head-on with two people, and he didn't even look back at the injured. He is lying to the public, and we demand that the police publish the video as proof." Said Ms. Li's father.
Expecting the police to continue in-depth investigation
Mr. Zhang, Ms. Li's husband, said that the other day he went to the traffic police detachment to sign another on-site identification report by a third-party organization. "The conclusion said that no brake marks were found at the scene, and although the surveillance video was retrieved, it was still impossible to measure the speed of the vehicle during the incident because the sports car hit several other vehicles after hitting the people, making it impossible to confirm the collision point." The family has objections to this.
The relatives of the deceased said they were more furious about the attitude of the culprit's family, "On the first day at the traffic police detachment, they apologized and said sorry, but after that, they ignored us completely, and their attitude changed 180 degrees. We were also pursued by the hospital for medical fees, which the traffic police required the culprit to bear."
The relatives of the deceased hope that the police can continue to conduct open and in-depth investigations, quickly find the woman who was in the car with the culprit, and the taxi driver who picked them up at the scene, hoping that they will tell the truth based on their conscience. "Since the sentencing for drunk driving began on May 1st, the sentencing for causing casualties while drunk driving differs from that for traffic accidents. We have reason to suspect that the culprit was drunk driving, and we hope the police will uncover the truth and restore justice for the deceased."
Mr. Zhang said that because the family was dissatisfied with the conclusions of the third-party institution commissioned by the traffic police department, the police notified him yesterday morning that they had found another appraisal institution.
