A horrifying allegation regarding traffic accidents in China has resurfaced. After images spread on social media, it was claimed that some drivers deliberately kill injured victims to avoid paying lifelong medical expenses. The foreign press recalled the “Yue Yue” case, which sparked widespread backlash in the past, while experts noted that the compensation system has been a subject of debate for years. Authorities, however, emphasize that not every incident confirms these allegations.
A horrific claim long debated in China regarding traffic accidents has resurfaced on social media. According to the claim, some drivers deliberately run over victims to kill them, finding a one-time compensation payment "cheaper" than covering long-term medical expenses for an injured person.
FOOTAGE IN THE VIDEO SPARKS OUTRAGE
Footage spreading on social media and shared by international media shows a vehicle running over a motorcyclist lying on the ground. The video was viewed millions of times in a short period.
Following the incident, social media users revived past controversial claims in China that "death compensation is cheaper than treatment costs."
THE "YUE YUE" CASE HAS BEEN DEBATED FOR YEARS
International media noted that similar claims have frequently emerged, especially after the 2011 death of a young girl, Wang Yue, who was run over and died without receiving help.
Some legal experts mention past debates in China where gaps in the compensation system allegedly encouraged malicious behavior by drivers.
NO OFFICIAL CONFIRMATION FROM AUTHORITIES
However, it is emphasized that not every image circulating on social media proves these claims, and some videos are shared out of context.
Authorities state that investigations into the incidents are ongoing, while noting that claims of "intentionally killing the injured" have not been officially confirmed for each case.
