The octogenarian man was hit and killed in the early morning, and the Macheng police solved a traffic hit-and-run case

The octogenarian man was hit and killed in the early morning, and the vehicle that caused the accident sped away. Recently, a traffic hit-and-run case occurred in the streets of Songbu Town, Macheng City, which caused the elderly to be injured and died after the rescue was ineffective. After the coordinated operation of the traffic police brigade of the Macheng Public Security Bureau and the Songbu Police Station, meticulous investigation and meticulous investigation, and after four days and nights of continuous struggle, the traffic hit-and-run case was finally successfully detected, and the driver Xiang (female, 61 years old, from Songbu Town, Macheng City) fell into the net.

At about 6 o’clock on November 14, on the street of Songbu Town, Macheng City, an octogenarian man was knocked down, and the vehicle that caused the accident disappeared. After receiving the alarm from the masses, the police of the Songbu Police Station quickly contacted the ambulance to rush to the scene and rescue the injured old man, and at the same time immediately inspected and inspected the scene to collect evidence. However, because it was early in the morning when the crime occurred, no passers-by saw it at the scene, and there was basically no evidence left, making it extremely difficult to solve the case.

On the night of November 16, the old man who was hit died after being rescued by the hospital, and the police of the Songbu police station felt that the burden on their shoulders was heavier, and secretly determined to find the driver who caused the accident.

In view of the seriousness of the case, the Songbu Police Station quickly handed over the case to the traffic police brigade and reported the case to the bureau leaders, and the bureau party committee attached great importance to it, organized the traffic police brigade traffic management squadron, the electric police squadron and all the case-handling civilian police of the Songbu police station to hold a case seminar and set up a special case group.

By calling up the monitoring near the scene, the police determined that the vehicle involved in the accident was an electric tricycle with a green front; However, because it was early in the morning at the time of the crime, the specific style and driver characteristics of the tricycle that caused the accident could not be determined from the monitoring, and the case suddenly reached a stalemate. However, the police of the special case team were not discouraged, and firmly believed that as long as they dig carefully, they would always find clues of criminal suspects. The police of the special case team then monitored and tracked according to the direction of the escape of the vehicle that caused the accident, and found that the electric vehicle was driving along Songbu Avenue in the direction of Songbu Town Government, and then disappeared from the monitoring range halfway.

The vehicle that caused the accident

Feeling that the surveillance video had entered a dead end in this step, the police of the special case team quickly adjusted their thinking and checked the driving route before the accident of the vehicle that caused the accident. By re-surveying the accident site, the police found that there was a closed construction section in front of the accident site, with only two forks in the road, one leading to the other side of the town street, and the other leading to the Dabie Mountain Vegetable Wholesale Market.

However, how can the perpetrator be quickly found in two different directions, and is this line of thinking correct? The mountains and rivers are exhausted, and there is no way, and there is another village. The white plastic box on the electric tricycle in the surveillance video attracted the attention of the police of the task force, and combined with the fact that the scene of the accident was located near the Dabieshan Vegetable Wholesale Market, the police boldly speculated that the vehicle involved in the accident was likely to drive out of the Dabieshan Vegetable Wholesale Market.

Dabieshan Vegetable Wholesale Market, electric tricycles, white plastic boxes…, these key information combined, the police of the task force determined that the driver who caused the accident was a vegetable farmer selling vegetables, and it is likely to be a resident near the Songbu Town District. Through on-site visits to the managers of the wholesale market, the police learned that Xiang, a villager in the village group near the fork in the road, had a green three-wheeled electric vehicle. After comprehensive analysis, the police of the special case team determined that Xiang (female, 61 years old, from Songbu Town, Macheng City) was suspected of committing a major crime.

At 8 o’clock on November 18, the police of the special case team quickly rushed to the village group near Songbu Town District to investigate, and successfully found the suspect vehicle in Xiang’s home. In the face of strong evidence, Xiang confessed to escaping after driving an electric tricycle to hit and injure the elderly.

After investigation, in the early morning of November 14, Xiang drove an electric tricycle to pull the planted vegetables to the vegetable wholesale market in Songbu Town to sell, in order to avoid the traffic police road inspection, Xiang chose to leave in the early morning. After selling the food, it was about 6 o’clock, when Xiang drove a tricycle to a street in Songbu, due to the dim lights, he did not see the passers-by in front of the vehicle in advance, and when Xiang found the figure, he could not avoid it because the speed was too fast, and he hit the walking old man. After discovering that he had hit someone, Xiang considered that his electric car had no license plate and no insurance, and thought that his family’s poor economic conditions could not afford it, so he left.

On November 18, 2021, Xiang was controlled by the Macheng City Public Security Bureau on suspicion of the crime of causing a traffic accident. At present, the case is being further processed.
