Zhang was in a state of shock when he was admitted to the hospital. He told police that on the evening of March 25, he, his wife, and son had gone to a relative’s house for dinner. On the way back, Zhang drove the car while his wife and son rode their electric bikes. Because he had too much to drink, Zhang lost control of the steering wheel.
