Driver in court over 2019 mishap
Print Edition
A COURT hearing about a 2019 traffic accident in which five people died was held yesterday, with a driver prosecuted for endangering public security by dangerous means.
The father of 34-year-old Wu, one of the victims, said there had been no apology from the driver鈥檚 family.
鈥淢y son鈥檚 death is too much for us as well as that of the 3-year-old grandson,鈥 he said.
On the morning of October 24, 63-year-old Chen Liwei was driving his daughter-in-law鈥檚 car when he got into a slight collision with an electric vehicle in Putuo District at a speed of around 36 kilometers per hour, Shanghai No. 2 Intermediate People鈥檚 Court said.
Chen then accelerated and ran a red light, reaching a speed of 121 kph.
After hitting a car and a bike at the intersection of Daduhe and Nujiang roads near Changfeng Park, he picked up speed to 161kph and collided with nine pedestrians, two cars and two electric vehicles.
When Chen finally stopped he was arrested by police.
One person died at the scene while four others died in hospital. Seven people were injured.
Prosecutors said Chen should be punished severely because he had committed the crime within five years of his release from a prison sentence.
