Girl, 6, dies 10 days after early morning crash

A 6-year-old girl, whose father was killed and whose mother was seriously injured when their car was hit by another, died in hospital on Wednesday, 10 days after the crash.

On May 9, Chen Weining and his wife, Wang Hui, were taking the older of their twin daughters, Zhuzhu, to hospital. At traffic lights near Jianguomenwai, a man driving an Infiniti, the luxury brand from carmaker Nissan, hit Chen's Fiat at about 5:30 am.

Chen died in hospital the next day. Wang, whose legs, neck and waist were broken, has not been informed of her daughter and husband's death. She is still receiving treatment and her left leg may have to be amputated, Beijing News said.
