A man named Peng Weiming hit a woman, Huang Huiqing, with his car. The impact was so strong that Huang was thrown into the air and died on the spot. Peng’s friend, Zhang Weixun, arrived at the scene to check on the situation but, possibly due to drunkenness, got into a conflict with the police. He then drove straight into the cordoned-off accident site, running over Huang’s body twice. Huang’s legs were crushed, and her right calf was even severed and flung away. Zhang’s alcohol level measured 0.81, higher than Peng’s. The family was heartbroken during the autopsy.

Police reported that around 6 a.m. yesterday, Peng Weiming (25 years old) was driving through the intersection of Wenxin and Shanxi Roads in Taichung when he accidentally hit Huang Huiqing (47 years old), who was riding a bicycle. Huang first collided with the car’s windshield before being thrown 50 meters away due to the strong recoil. She suffered multiple fractures and bruises, bleeding profusely and dying instantly.

The Taichung Police Department’s Fifth Traffic Division arrived to collect evidence, cordoning off the slow lane and motorcycle lane. Over ten of Peng’s friends heard about the accident and came to the scene. Among them, Zhang Weixun (27 years old), possibly drunk, got into a verbal altercation with the police. After shouting profanities, he took advantage of the chaos, got back into his car, and drove straight into the restricted area.

Zhang’s car sped violently, sideswiping a police car and traffic cones before running over Huang’s body. To the officers’ shock, Zhang then made a U-turn and sped back into the restricted area, running over Huang’s knees twice—almost completely severing them—and even flinging her right calf onto the slow lane.

Witnesses were horrified, exclaiming, “This is too much!” The police tried to apprehend him but could only watch as Zhang’s taillights disappeared into the distance.

Peng Weiming’s alcohol level measured 0.06. He claimed he had only consumed two bowls of ginger duck soup at 1 a.m. and had not been drinking. While Peng was being taken to the traffic division, Zhang unexpectedly walked in, prompting the police to arrest him immediately. Zhang’s alcohol level was 0.81, higher than Peng’s.

During questioning, Peng Weiming stated that Huang had made a right turn on a red light, leading to the collision. He insisted he hadn’t seen her and expressed deep regret over the accident.

**Drunk Friend Storms Restricted Area, Speeds and Insults Police**

Zhang Weixun argued that he had initially intended to drive away but accidentally entered the restricted area. He claimed he turned around to pick up a friend and had no recollection of running over Huang’s body, only remembering hitting traffic cones. He denied intentionally running over her corpse and claimed the alcohol detected was consumed after leaving the accident scene, on his way to the traffic division. The prosecutor later released both men on bail of NT$50,000 each.

Huang Huiqing, the woman who died in the accident, lived less than a kilometer away on Shanxi East Second Street. Her closest younger brother said that just three days earlier, they had celebrated Mother’s Day and their mother’s birthday together, and her joyful smile was still vivid in his memory. He dared not tell their mother, fearing she couldn’t bear the shock.

Huang’s brother described her as a kind and gentle person with many friends. She had been visiting a friend when the accident occurred. The siblings were very close, meeting frequently to chat, and had just celebrated their mother’s birthday together on Sunday. He lamented that they wouldn’t be able to spend next Mother’s Day together.

The Peng suspect who drove a car and killed a woman, along with his Zhang friend who shouted provocatively, were both released on bail of NT$50,000 as ordered by the prosecutor, sparking public outrage. People angrily condemned the suspects for having no conscience after hitting and running over the victim's body. The victim’s family was also dissatisfied that the suspects could walk free with just NT$50,000, especially the victim’s live-in boyfriend. The thought of his beloved’s severed leg being run over twice by the suspect’s car brought him such heart-wrenching pain that he shed tears.

Barely holding back his tears, Mr. Cai still cannot believe that his girlfriend of 30 years has passed away. He said although they were not married, their relationship was stronger than that of many couples. Their small apartment is filled with memories of her. He recalled that his girlfriend was always beautiful and well-dressed, a stunning beauty in her youth. Yet after her death, not only was her body left incomplete, but her severed leg was run over twice by the suspect.

Mr. Cai was unhappy that the prosecutor allowed the two suspects to go free on NT$50,000 bail. However, the prosecutor explained that the suspects were not detained because their offenses did not meet the threshold for detention. The prosecutor stated that as long as the investigation and trial proceed, the suspects could face heavier sentencing upon indictment.

The public also widely considered the NT$50,000 bail to be unreasonable, with even unrelated bystanders finding it unacceptable. In this hit-and-run case, the two young suspects not only hit the victim and ran over her body but also shouted at the police. Their outrageous behavior leaves no choice but to rely on the judge to deliver justice for the family and society.
