No compensation in hitandrun

A court in Hebei province has ruled a defendant need not compensate the family of a man who died after fleeing a traffic accident he was involved in.

The defendant, Zhu Zhenbiao, 30, witnessed a crash between two motorcyclists in the province's Luannan county on Jan 9 last year, and Zhu drove his car in pursuit of Zhang Yonghuan - the motorcyclist believed to have caused the original accident - after seeing him flee from the scene, according to the ruling made and posted by the county's court on Monday.

The other motorcyclist survived but was injured and later sent to hospital, it said.
