The "Province 64 packet loss case" entered the second day of trial today. The driver Lin Yujun was angry because the deceased man, surnamed Wen, kicked his chair for no reason. He abandoned Wen on the Provincial Highway 64, causing Wen to be run over by a passing car. The driver surnamed Chen, who drove Wen Nan to death, testified in court today. He reluctantly said that due to the lack of lights late at night, a person lying in the inner lane could not react immediately.

Chen Nan explained that he drives from Xinzhuang to the claw machine shop in Zhonghe late every night to work, so 64 is very familiar to him. At about 2 o'clock in the morning that day, he finished work and drove on Route 64 toward Xinzhuang to return home. When he was driving in the inside lane, he noticed something lying across the road. The reaction distance was less than 5 meters. He turned the steering wheel and turned to the outside. He realized that he had passed over it and got out of the car to check.

When he looked back, he realized that he had hit someone, so he quickly reported the incident and called for help. He also took command at the scene to prevent another car from running over him. He said that due to the distance between street lights, the entire road was not uniformly bright. Wen Nan happened to be lying in a section without lights and could not be discovered in time.

During the court session yesterday, Lin Yujun's defense lawyer stated that Lin threw Wen Nan between the road line and the soundproof wall, rather than abandoning him in the express lane. He maintained that there was no causal relationship between Wen Nan's death and the packet throwing behavior. The trial of this case will continue until this Friday, when the national judge will make the corresponding judgment.
