Media reports stated that the elderly woman passed away from her injuries in the hospital.

Driver was not familiar with controls of new car

According to the insurance company, the driver had not been familiar with the controls of her new car.

As a result, she may have inadvertently accelerated too quickly, running into her grandmother.

 

Lui Kai, a lawyer at Beijing Zhongwen (Changsha) Law Firm, said: “Judging by the video’s contents, the accident occurred in a courtyard and road traffic safety laws do not apply here.”

As such, it does not count as a traffic accident.

“However, the woman had objectively caused the death of a relative,” he added.

Whether the crime was negligent needs to be based on several factors, including the perpetrator’s level of understanding as well as the circumstances of the scene.

If the perpetrator can’t foresee that their actions would cause someone else’s death, it is an accident.

He also noted that the insurance company should compensate the family based on the evidence.
