A TRUCK has been identified as the vehicle responible for an accident that killed a bus driver in east China's Jiangsu Province last month, local authorities said yesterday.
It was confirmed that a piece of metal from a broken brake hub on the truck smashed the bus windshield, fatally injuring the driver, Wu Bin, Wuxi's public security bureau said.
The driver of the Guizhou Province-registered truck will not be held criminally liable, as he did nothing wrong or illegal to cause the accident on May 29, the bureau said.
Wuxi police screened over 3,000 vehicles that had driven along the road where the accident happened, eventually finding the suspect vehicle on the morning of June 6 in east China's Jiangxi Province.
An investigation revealed that one of the truck's brake hubs had been recently replaced.
The truck driver admitted that he had noticed a problem with the brakes on May 31 and had them repaired.
Wu, 48, became a hero when he managed to stop his bus and ensure his passengers' safety despite being seriously injured while driving from Wuxi to Hangzhou in Zhejiang Province.
He died three days later.
