Let's rewind time to 4 o'clock in the afternoon the day before yesterday... Yesterday morning, Mr. Zhang, a reader from Jiaxing, called the hotline of our newspaper and told us about the incident that happened at this intersection. At that moment, the traffic light for the east-west direction at the crossroads was red, and the traffic light for the north-south direction had just turned from yellow to red. Following behind the elderly man was a Camry car. The car suddenly accelerated, overtook the tricycle, made a turn, and stopped in front of the tricycle.
At 4 o'clock in the afternoon the day before yesterday, after a long rain had just stopped, it was near quitting time, and the traffic flow at the intersection gradually increased. When everyone thought the tricycle would stop to help the injured person, not only did the tricycle not stop, but it also sped up and rode south.
It was at this moment that people remembered to take out their phones and call the police. The elderly man slowly reduced the speed of his electric bike, but due to the slippery road from the rain, the electric bike still crossed the stop line at the intersection. Just then, the tricycle from the north quickly ran the yellow light and instantly knocked down the electric bike.
The tricycle finally stopped, and the car driver jumped out of the car, rushed to the other side, and grabbed the tricycle rider... The enthusiastic driver: It is right to step in when seeing injustice.
After receiving the alarm, the officers from the Nanhuzi Traffic Police Brigade soon arrived at the scene. The officers quickly noticed that the tricycle rider had a mouthful of alcohol, and he also admitted that he indeed drank some alcohol earlier. But when asked why he fled the scene after causing the accident, the tricycle rider actually claimed that he did not flee, but because the tricycle was equipped with a motor, he could not brake after the incident. When the officer asked him why he fled again after being forced to stop by the car the first time, he claimed, "I was afraid of colliding with the car."
After the on-site investigation was completed, the car driver planned to leave quietly, but the drunk tricycle rider pulled on the car door handle and wouldn't let him go, claiming, "His dangerous driving, what if my tricycle hit the car?"
Yesterday afternoon, I learned from one of the responding officers that the enthusiastic driver surnamed Xi, is from Yuxin Town, Nanhu District, Jiaxing City, and is the boss of a construction company. The tricycle driver surnamed Meng is 51 years old and earns a living by collecting scrap.
Fortunately, the elderly man who was knocked down was not seriously injured; he just had some discomfort in his waist.
Currently, the traffic police department is further handling this matter.
Finally, the situation was resolved satisfactorily only after the police officers from the police station arrived.
The incident happened so fast that the surrounding pedestrians didn't have time to react, and they watched as the tricycle was about to escape from the scene.
A 76-year-old elderly man was riding an electric bike from east to west along the Jing water road flexible lane toward the intersection. Not far behind, there was a black Camry car following. Meanwhile, on the east side lane of Zhonghuan East Road to the north, a tricycle was also rapidly riding south in the wrong direction.
Every day, countless vehicles pass through and people walk across the intersection of Jiaxing's Jing water Road and Zhonghuan East Road.
In just 21 seconds the afternoon before yesterday, two vehicles and two individuals passing through here condensed a dramatic chase of kindness and evil.
At 16:01:13, the tricycle hit someone and tried to escape.
The tricycle owner even falsely accused, "I was afraid of hitting the car."
The reporter then attempted to contact Mr. Xi by phone, but the officer said that Mr. Xi had expressed that what he did was just a trivial matter, so he did not want to be interviewed by the media. Another officer from the police station told the reporter that when Mr. Xi was giving his statement, talking about why he took the risk to force the tricycle to stop, he just smiled and said, "When you see injustice, you should step in."
Finally, everything was resolved satisfactorily only after the police officers from the police station arrived.
The surrounding citizens really couldn't bear to watch anymore, and ultimately dialed 110.
