A taxi driver was helping his passenger with her luggage after dropping her off at her destination, only to be hit by a minibus and sent flying 10 metres. According to a report in Linahe Wanbao, the accident took place on Sep 27 at around 11am, near a factory in Gul Circle.

The 57-year-old cabby suffered serious injuries to his head and lost consciousness upon the impact. His female passenger also passed out. He was sent to hospital for emergency treatment, but died of his injuries 14 hours later.

He is unmarried and is the oldest of four brothers. People knew him as a filial son who called to ask about his mother everyday. His brother said that the victim had been driving for more than 20 years and had never once been in a major accident.

The bus driver fled after the accident without checking on the cabby and his passenger. Police have classified the case as a hit and run.
