On a road in China, a woman sunbathing on a yoga mat was hit by a car.

According to Chinese media such as Sina Finance and Hunan Today, a woman surnamed Yang, who was lying on a yoga mat, was recently hit by a car on the road in Suzhou, Jiangsu Province, China.

Video of the black box in the vehicle shows the woman lying down after installing a parasol.

There were no warning signs around to tell drivers about their existence.

The driver claimed that he did not see the woman in the blind spot while reversing in the parking lot.

He said he only knew he had run over someone after hearing a call for help.

Having driven for 20 years, he said "I've never seen such a situation before" "No one would have thought that someone would be lying on the road in the hot sunlight".

Yang, who was hit by a car, said he did not hear the coming sound because the engine of the electric car was quiet.

He said he only knew when the wheel stepped on his leg.

She saw the 'back sunbathing' trend online and tried to help with shoulder pain"The day of the accident was the seventh day since I started sunbathing."

Then "The cars on their way to work had already passed, and there were only three cars in the parking lot at that time. A few days ago, I saw someone else sunbathe and avoided"If it was a fuel car other than an electric car, I would have heard it because it was loud."

The woman whose calf was stepped on suffered a muscle injury, but the leg bone was not seriously damaged. Fortunately, the vehicle had just begun to move.

He was also diagnosed with burns on his back due to excessive sunbathing.

The police judged that the main responsibility for the accident lies with the driver of the vehicle, and that the injured Yang is secondary.

A police official said "A motorist should take primary responsibility for the accident because he/she is unable to properly monitor the traffic conditions on the road and take no action in the event of a situation. The woman sunbathing on the road is secondary to the accident," he said.
