On the night of 23 July, 2011, a fast running train D301 from Beijing to Fuzhou suddenly hit another train which had already stopped there. The motor car accident happened in Wenzhou, China's eastern province of Zhejiang. It caused four carriages to fall off a bridge which is at least 30 metres high from the ground. 40 people have died in the accident. Among them were 2 foreigners: an Italian woman, Assunta Liguori, and a Chinese American, Cao Erxing. So far, most of the 39 bodies have been claimed by their relatives, based on ID cards, clothes and other characteristics, but the results of DNA tests are coming out in about one week or two. Another 210 people have been taken to hospitals in Wenzhou after the accident.
The accident study shows that it is the lightning strike that caused the big accident: the first train lost power because of a lightning strike and had to stop on the rail way. And after a few minutes it was soon hit from the back by another train following it. 
After the accident, questions have been raised over “what caused the accident” and “how to do with it”. During a visit to Wenzhou, where 39 people have been killed last weekend, Premier Wen calls for an transparent investigation into the cause of the accident, and he once again emphasized(强调) the importance of putting safety first in the country’s development.

On the night of May 9, 2011, the famous musician Gao Xiaosong ran his car into three other cars in Beijing, because he drank(饮酒) too much. Gao went to prison(监狱) for six months and paid some money for it. “I am so sorry for that and I want to ask people around me not to drive after drinking,” Gao said.

From May 1 on, drunk drivers have to pay some money, and they can’t drive for five years or more. The new law(法律) sees drunk driving as a crime(犯罪).

In the West, drunk driving is also a crime. In the U.S. , if the police catch(捉住) a drunk driver, the driver will pay money, lose his or her driving license(驾照) and even go to prison. If the driver wants to drive again, he or she must do many helpful things.
