I. Case review

At about 4: 40 pm on March 20, 2022, in the southwest of the intersection of Renmin Road and Bahe Street in Handan City, a white Ford car rushed to the non-motor vehicle lane and damaged many non-motor vehicles, causing 14 people to be injured. Although the traffic police detachment quickly rushed to the scene and sent the injured to the hospital for treatment at the first time, four people died after being rescued, and the driver was also controlled on the spot. Liu Mobei, male, 3 1 year-old, suspected in the case of driving collision in Handan, now lives in congtai district, Handan, and is an employee of a certain unit. After investigation by the police, Liu Mobei took a prescription drug for analgesia for a long time and overdosed it, which led to a tragedy.

Second, how to measure the penalty for the crime of endangering public safety by dangerous means.

Whoever intentionally uses dangerous methods other than arson, explosion or throwing dangerous substances to endanger public safety shall be punished as a crime of endangering public safety by dangerous methods. Whoever constitutes a crime of endangering public security by dangerous means shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment, life imprisonment or death. According to the criminal law, if this crime has not caused serious consequences, it shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three years but not more than ten years, and if serious injuries, deaths or heavy losses of public property are caused, it shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than ten years, life imprisonment or death. Liu Mobei in the case has caused four deaths and will be severely punished by law.

The impact of this incident on society is bad. Bian Xiao couldn't believe that a person could be so irresponsible that many families were injured. Four people have lost their lives, and he will pay for his mistakes. I believe that the law will also give justice to the dead.
