Driver of overturned car linked to 2009 fatal wreck

Hu Bin, who caused the death of a 25-year-old pedestrian in 2009 while speeding, reportedly was involved in another traffic accident possibly caused by misoperation in Hangzhou.

Hu, 25, was identified as the driver in a car accident on Friday that resulted in the car overturning while passing a detour area on a mountain road in Hangzhou's West Lake scenic area at 10:30 pm. Since it was late at night, no passers-by were at the scene.

Tao Wei, a police officer in charge of the case, said the car was partially damaged, with airbags deployed and a front hub twisted. He confirmed a young man surnamed Hu was standing beside the car and claimed to be the driver.
