In May last year, a major malicious injury accident occurred in Dalian, Liaoning Province, which killed 5 people, seriously injured 2 people, 4 people were slightly injured, and 2 people were injured. On February 9, 2022, the Liaoning Municipal High People's Court pronounced a second-instance judgment on the case.
At 11:40 a.m. on May 22, 2021, criminal Liu Dong was driving a BMW sedan west-to-east on Wuhui Road in Zhongshan District, Dalian City, when Liu Dong ignored the red light at the intersection and crashed into pedestrians on the sidewalk of the north gate of Wuhui Road Labor Park, killing 5 people, seriously injuring 2 people, slightly injuring 4 people, and injuring 2 people. After hitting and injuring pedestrians, Liu Dong continued to drive, then rear-ended a truck and abandoned the car to flee the scene, and was arrested by the police that afternoon.
The Intermediate People's Court of Dalian City, Liaoning Province, tried the case, and the court held that Liu Dong was driving on a public road in the city center area, deliberately running a red light and accelerating into a normal pedestrian, causing many deaths, and his criminal means were extremely cruel, the impact was extremely bad, and the social harm was extremely serious, so he sentenced Liu Dong to death and deprived him of his political rights for life. After the court pronounced the verdict, the defendant Liu Dong said: "Because of the failure of his investment, he then vented his emotions in this extreme way", and he was obviously a victim, so he appealed.
