Woman Hit in Henan Begs Driver Not to Run Her Over

On the afternoon of June 30, at about 1:30pm, a traffic accident happened in Henan Xingyang City. The woman who was hit by the truck was stuck under the wheel, yelling in pain, and begged “don’t run me over”.

During the time of the accident, netizen Nie Zhiyi was driving by. He saw a [woman riding a] motor scooter changing the lane from an alley to the road. With a loud noise, a big red cement tanker with license plate number “豫A-G2798” crashed into the motor scooter. The motor scooter was pushed forward by the huge impact, clashing against the road, sparks flying. This picture is of the driver checking out the injured woman when seeing Nie was taking photos.

He could see clearly that it was a middle-aged woman wearing a red blouse who got hit, stuck in the space under the wheel, with blood all over her face, and still alive. Not until then did Nie discover that the injured was a woman, with blood all over her face.

The truck driver realized that something was not right, plus someone was taking photos, so he stopped the truck immediately and came out to see what went wrong. According to Nie, when the driver stood up during the process, the woman was clearly freaked out, kept yelling she was in pain and begging “don’t run me over”. This picture is of the driver standing back up, with the injured woman fearfully pleading.

When the driver bent over again, Nie called the police.

120 [emergency medical service] taking the injured woman away. From the look of it, she was badly injured.

Seeing this, my heart is a little sad. Our nation hasn’t fallen to this level yet, right?

Next time when you’re running someone over, be precise, aim for government officials, and you’ll become a hero!

What kind of social norm would cause someone to ask the perpetrating driver to spare his/her life after being hit?
