What is the "70 yards" incident?

At 8 o'clock on the evening of May 7, 2009, Hu Mou, a young man from Hangzhou, drove a Mitsubishi EVO sports car of Zhejiang A608Z0. When he was driving from east to west on Wen 'er West Road to the entrance of Dejia West District, he ran into Tan Zhuo, a young man who was crossing the road from the zebra crossing, causing Tan to die on the spot.

On the afternoon of the 8th, Hangzhou Public Security Bureau held a press conference after the incident. The perpetrator was Hu Bin, a 20-year-old student from Hangzhou Normal University, who had a speeding record. The vehicle of the perpetrator has not been modified, and it is not known whether the deceased took the zebra crossing. At the time of the incident, the speed was determined to be "about 70 yards per hour", while the speed limit of Wen Er West Road was 50 kilometers per hour.

According to eyewitnesses, the deceased was hit more than 5 meters high and 20 meters away from the zebra crossing when the accident happened. According to eyewitnesses, the speed was at least 120- 150 km/h at that time. After the accident, the perpetrators were particularly arrogant and didn't care about hitting people at all. Their companions claim that they can make money for people. When this statement came out, it was immediately met with great dissatisfaction from Hangzhou citizens and netizens. Zhejiang University students, Hangzhou citizens and netizens spontaneously organized nearly 10,000 people to go to the scene to mourn the deceased.

Investigation results: On June 4th, 65438, the spokesman of Hangzhou Public Security Bureau said that the public security organs had received the appraisal report on the technical problems related to the "drag racing case" in Hangzhou. According to the report, the vehicle involved was speeding illegally, with the speed ranging from 84. 1 km/h to 10 1.2 km/h, and the vehicle involved was modified or partially modified.

When the Hangzhou police reported the accident before, they quoted the statement of Hu and his companions: the speed at the time of the incident was about 70 kilometers per hour. This statement is quite different from the eyewitness's description that "the victim was hit several meters high and more than 20 meters away", which caused many netizens to question. Many people spontaneously take simple tests and post the results to online forums.

Extended data:

Hangzhou drag racing case sparked heated discussion. The appraisal report overturned 70 yards.

On the afternoon of May 9, 2009, the briefing attracted many media. After the police informed the accident investigation, the victim's colleagues immediately questioned the investigation notified by the police. The question came straight to the point and told the reporter everything he wanted to ask, questioning: "How did the speed of the accident vehicle reach 70 km/h at that time? Is the method of obtaining evidence reasonable? " 70 yards =64.00800 meters

According to the police report, "according to the statement of the party Hu and relevant witnesses, the speed at the time of the incident was about 70 km/h". Colleagues of the victims questioned: "Can the speed of 70 yards knock people up more than 5 meters and fly to the ground more than 20 meters away?" "Can the police obtain evidence of the speed according to the statement of the parties?" "Who is the relevant witness?"

The police said that as for the distance between the victim and the impact point, it may also involve "sliding", that is, it is possible that the deceased will slide on the ground for a distance after falling to the ground. Regarding the speed, the police said that they had asked the parties and investigated their peers. Colleagues said that they "checked the car's code table and confirmed that the speed was about 70 yards."
