Hit-and-run driver鈥檚 family lose claim suit
Print Edition
A court in north China鈥檚 Hebei Province yesterday dismissed a suit brought by the family of a hit-and-run driver.
Zhu Zhenbiao witnessed Zhang Yonghuan hit a pedestrian with his car and drive off. Zhu pursued Zhang who was then killed by a train as he attempted to drive across the tracks.
According to the Luannan County court of Tangshan, there was no causal relationship between Zhu鈥檚 actions and Zhang鈥檚 death.
The behavior of the defendant was 鈥渓awful鈥 and in the public interest, according to the court.
The plaintiff鈥檚 family sued Zhu for more than 600,000 yuan (US$95,000) in November and have said that they will appeal against the ruling.
It is the second ruling on safeguarding public interest in China within a month.
On January 23, a court in central China鈥檚 Henan Province dismissed a suit filed by the family of a smoker who died of a heart attack after an argument with a man who asked him to stop smoking in a lift.
