On the way home one day, Mr. Zhang was so anxious to go home that he drove a car over the speed limit, but unexpectedly knocked a pedestrian Mr. Wang to the ground while turning, and died after rescue efforts failed. After the accident, Mr. Zhang did not know what to do and fled in a car in a panic.
So if you don't rescue or call the police in the event of an accident, and escape from the scene of the accident with a fluke mentality, what punishment will you receive?
Mr. Zhang drove a motor vehicle at speed, and did not observe the road conditions carefully, did not avoid when encountering pedestrians crossing the road, did not stop to rescue the injured after a traffic accident, and protected the scene, but drove away and caused death, Mr. Zhang's behavior violated the relevant provisions of the Road Traffic Safety Law and the Criminal Law, and he was fully responsible for the accident and was investigated for criminal responsibility in accordance with the law.
The legal basis is as follows:
Article 99 of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China.
Any of the following acts shall be fined not less than 200 yuan but not more than 2,000 yuan by the traffic management department of the public security organ: ......3) Fleeing after causing a traffic accident that does not constitute a crime ......In any of the circumstances in items 1, 3, 5 through 8, they may be detained concurrently for up to 15 days.
Article 10 of the Measures for the Management of Demerit Points for Road Traffic Safety Violations
If the driver of a motor vehicle commits one of the following traffic violations, 6 points will be deducted at a time: (10) Fleeing after causing a traffic accident that causes minor injury or property damage, but it does not constitute a crime.
Article 133 of the Criminal Law of the People's Republic of China.

Tengye reminds that if you unfortunately encounter a traffic accident on the way, you must take the initiative to call the police as soon as possible, rescue the injured, protect the scene, and never hit and run, and the consequences of evading responsibility will be greater!
