Grief and outrage against Hawaii drivers directed at the fatal California crash

Honolulu (Hawaiinewsnow) – A young woman is looking for a night that began with gratitude.

Linh Luu spent several days in the hospital and recovered on January 19 in San Francisco from the high -speed wreck.

The 26-year-old drove with the shotgun next to her friend Mikhael “Misha” Romanenko, the man she wanted to marry.

The couple's 8-year-old poodle was also called in the car.

The journey left Luu overwhelmed with a feeling of love, a moment when she said he was broken when the couple's lexus was added by an accelerated Tesla.

The impact led to a crash of the chain reaction, in which not only seven vehicles were damaged, but also Romanesko and Keeper.

“I just called” Oh my god, Mischa “and I didn't get anything back. And next I remember that I woke up in the hospital.” said Luu

During the treatment, Luu said that her worst fears became reality when they said that Misha and keeper did not survive.

Then more news let Luu roll; The Hawaii driver, who reports reported in a zone of 25 miles per hour, Jia Lin Zheng, 98 in her, was released until the examination.

A judge was stacked on Luus Pain and allowed Zheng to return to Oahu, and he thought was not a flight risk.

“It's really heartbreaking,” said Luu, “I have the feeling that I am only in the accident again.”

But it is unclear whether Zheng is really to blame.

According to reports, the 66-year-old informed the investigators that he had tried to stop, but the brakes in his son's Tesla did not answer, a claim to investigate the public prosecutor in San Francisco before accumulating charges.

In a press conference according to Zheng's release, Brooke Jenkins said that a significant vehicle inspection was required, which is usually completed by the vehicle manufacturer. According to Jenkins, the investigation would also require additional time to rebuild the accident and download the black box of the vehicle.

Tests showed that Zheng was not affected on the night of the crash.

Studies also show that a black Tesla, like him, was involved in numerous accidents shortly before the deadly collision.

Luu is particularly upset because court files show that a Hawaii resident named Jia Lin Zheng with the same name and the same spelling has been recorded of almost 20 traffic crimes and violations in almost 20 years. This includes excessive speed overrun and running red lights.

Hawaii News could not confirm that it was the same man, but Luu is convinced.

“This is someone who had a trace of traffic violations has shown a clear disregard for the law and, above all, human life,” said Luu.

Before his release, Zheng was initially booked due to charges for vehicle deadlock, ruthless driving, which led to injuries, crime vandalism and speed crossing.

HNN has contacted the public prosecutor in San Francisco to update an update about the case and is waiting for an answer.

“I don't think something that he can tell me will bring the closure that I need.” said Luu.
