A man who urged a driver to leave the scene of a traffic accident later found out one of the victims was his son, reports hnby.com.cn, a news portal supported by major Henan newspapers.

Cai hired someone to drive him home after he had too much to drink at a friend's party in Wen County, Henan Province on Tuesday night.

But the vehicle struck two people on a motorcycle while making a turn. When Cai discovered that the two victims lying on the dark road were unconscious, he urged the driver to flee before anyone else came along.

Cai's neighbours later knocked on his door and told him his son had been injured in a traffic accident.

He rushed to the scene, only to realize it was the same spot where his driver had hit the motorcycle.
