Zhao drove a light truck on a certain section of the road and honked his horn several times to overtake the electric tricycle driven by Qian in front. But Qian did not give way in time. After a period of time, Qian drove to the right side to give way, Zhao accelerated to overtake, and suddenly stopped to the right in the process of overtaking, causing the rear of the light truck to knock over the electric tricycle, and Qian was injured and died after rescue. Zhao was immediately detained by **, and the procuratorate prosecuted Zhao to the court on suspicion of intentional injury.
During the trial, Zhao and his defender did not recognize the charges charged by the procuratorate, arguing that Zhao did not have the intention to injure, and that the traffic accident was caused by negligence, which only constituted the crime of causing a traffic accident. The court held that Zhao's lane change without ensuring a safe distance after overtaking, not avoiding and preventing the actual possibility of harmful results, and holding a laissez-faire attitude, was indirect and intentional, and Qian died because Zhao was injured when Zhao's car knocked over the vehicle, and Zhao's malicious behavior of stopping the car had a causal relationship with Qian's death in criminal law, so Zhao constituted the crime of intentional injury and was sentenced to six years and six months in prison.
