The police arrived at the scene after receiving a report from the public at around 9am and found You Nan with severe injuries including fractured limbs and head trauma.

You Nan was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment but was pronounced dead after succumbing to his injuries.

Car driver was not drunk

The police conducted a breathalyzer test on Zeng, who was unscathed, which came out negative.

As a result, the accident was suspected to have been caused by drowsiness or fatigue.

Prosecutors conducted an autopsy on You Nan’s body and determined that head trauma and limb fractures from the accident caused his death.

However, the exact cause of the accident still has to be clarified through further investigation.
