lowered his head and picked up the mobile phone to cause a car accident

On January 20, 2020, less than four days after the Spring Festival, a post-80s man, Zhong Moumou, was driving a small car rented from his friend Chen Moumou to get from Jiande Gantan back to Quzhou Longyou hometown for the New Year. During the period, because he was over at the highway exit, Zhong XX drove out of the highway section above the Qujiang River. Being unfamiliar with the road conditions, Zhong opened the phone map for navigation and put the phone on the passenger seat.

At about 17:00, when the vehicle was driving to the first section of Shangfang Town in Qujiang District, because the mobile phone fell from the passenger seat, Zhong leaned over to pick up the mobile phone. Unexpectedly, the steering wheel was deflected and the car rushed directly into the opposite lane. The left front of the car hit the roadside guardrail, and hit the oncoming Zheng Moumou driving an electric bicycle carrying Wang Moumou, and rammed Xu Moumou's small passenger car driving Wang Moumou again with the battery car. When Zhong Moumou reacted and stepped on the brakes, it was too late. The accident caused by "picking up mobile phones" resulted in Zheng's death on the spot, and Wang's and Wang's injuries. After the accident, Zhong Moumou took the initiative to call the police and waited at the scene. The traffic police determined that Zhong was fully responsible for the accident.

It has been identified that Zheng XX was caused by blunt external force in a road traffic accident and died of severe head injury and thoracic and abdominal organ damage; Wang XX's injury was a minor injury.

In January 2020, the procuratorate filed a public prosecution. On April 21, Zhong Moumou voluntarily signed the "Recognition of Guilt and Punishment" in the presence of the lawyer on duty. Zhong and the insurance company insured for the vehicle compensated Zheng's family, Wang's, and Wang's economic losses.

The court held that the defendant Zhong Moumou violated the traffic and transportation management regulations and caused a major accident, causing one death and one minor injury, and he was fully responsible for the accident, and his actions constituted a traffic accident crime. Defendant Zhong XX voluntarily surrendered after committing a crime and truthfully confessed his crime. He surrendered himself and could be punished lightly according to law. The insurance company where the vehicle involved in the accident and the defendant Zhong Moumou compensated for the economic losses that had occurred in the accident, the defendant Zhong Moumou had no criminal record, pleaded guilty and pleaded guilty, and voluntarily compensated the victim’s family of 20,000 yuan. Leniency punishment and suspended sentence apply.

In the end, the Qujiang Court sentenced the defendant Zhong Moumou to the crime of causing a traffic accident and sentenced him to one year and five months' imprisonment, with one year and six months suspended.

Fear life and drive safely. When driving, it is very dangerous to look out of the front. For behaviors such as lowering your head and picking up a mobile phone, take a vehicle traveling at a speed of 50 kilometers per hour as an example. If you lower your head for two seconds, the vehicle has traveled about 28 meters. Once there is an emergency, there is no time to respond.
