Lin's car then continued to ram forward and then hit four cars and a motorcycle parked on the roadside. The whole car did not stop until Ms. Lin released the accelerator.

After the Fengshan police received the report, they immediately sent personnel to the scene to handle the incident. A total of 5 passenger cars and 2 motorcycles were damaged. Ms. Lin told the police that she accidentally stepped on the accelerator because she was feeling unwell and mentally weak at the time.

The police conducted alcohol concentration tests on Ms. Lin, Mr. Pan and Mr. Yang. The alcohol test values ​​were all zero and they were not involved in drug driving.
