According to Chinese media Hongxing News and Hong Kong media South China Morning Post, Wang, a man living in Jiangsu Province, China, has had an affair with Liu, a woman, since 2022.
Then, on the night of July 2023, Mr. Wang, who was drunk and riding in a vehicle driven by Mr. Liu, suddenly fell out of the open door.
Liu immediately stopped the car, checked Wang's condition, and called an ambulance. Wang was rushed to the hospital but was pronounced dead 24 hours later from brain damage.
According to a police investigation, the two argued over their separation before the accident.
According to police, Liu first told Wang that he wanted to break up, but was rejected. Then, on the night of the accident, Wang sent a message to Liu and asked him to return the bracelet and SIM card he bought for her.
Later, they had a late dinner together, and Mr. Wang, who was drunk, asked Mr. Liu to give him a ride home.
While Liu was driving, the door of the vehicle suddenly opened in the turning section and Wang, who was not wearing a seat belt, fell out of the car.
After Wang's death, his wife and other family filed a lawsuit for 600,000 yuan (about 120 million won) in compensation when they demanded compensation from Liu, their mistress, several times, but were rejected.
However, the court dismissed the lawsuit and ordered Liu to pay only 65,000 yuan (about 13 million won) in compensation.
The court said that `Mr. Liu is not liable for gross negligence or gross negligence in this case"However, it appears that he has not fulfilled his duty of due care"
Netizens might wonder why the door of the car suddenly opened because there was no connection to the accident and death?", Comments such as "This is why you shouldn't have an affair..." were posted.
