Changsha pupils were knocked down by a bus when crossing the road. Who will bear the responsibility for the accident?

On May 8, 2022, a bus in Changsha accidentally knocked down an 8-year-old boy who was crossing a crosswalk while turning. The accident caused the boy to be seriously injured and died after being rescued by the hospital. After arriving at the case, the bus driver has been criminally detained by the police. According to the traffic law, whoever drives a motor vehicle and fails to avoid pedestrians, resulting in the death of others, shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years and his motor vehicle driver's license shall be revoked. In this accident, bus drivers and motor vehicles did not give way to pedestrians when crossing the crosswalk, which was the main cause of the accident. The 8-year-old boy who died in the accident crossed the road through the crosswalk according to the traffic rules.

Drivers with a driver's license above B2 will generally have their driver's license revoked if there is a major traffic accident and they are mainly responsible for the accident. Even if I take my driver's license test later, I can only take a C photo. In this accident, it is unreasonable for the bus driver and the child he killed on the zebra crossing.

According to the news released by Changsha traffic police on WeChat account, the accident occurred at 5: 00 pm 12 on May 8, 2022, which was the peak period of primary school classes. The bus driver Fu Shifu drove the bus and turned at the intersection of Yingri Road and Tan Snowy Road in Yuelu District, Changsha City. It may be a blind spot on the right side of the bus, and he failed to observe the eight-year-old boy crossing the zebra crossing in time. At that time, I hit it and the child was seriously injured. When I was sent to the hospital for rescue, unfortunately, I couldn't save it. This accident directly led to the breakdown of two families, which is embarrassing and regrettable.

First of all, the bus driver pays the master and still faces huge civil compensation at the end of his career. If the boy's family does not issue a criminal understanding, the master will hand it over to prison.

This matter is extremely painful for the little boy's parents. First of all, the little boy crossed the road through the crosswalk without any fault or responsibility. Such a tragedy, the children's parents will not be able to face and let go.
