How many years of fixed-term imprisonment will a driver be sentenced to for violating transportation management regulations and causing a major accident resulting in death and then fleeing the scene?

ANSWER · C

Per Article 133 of the "Amendment to the Criminal Law of the People's Republic of China", anyone who violates traffic and transportation management regulations, causing a major accident resulting in serious injury, death, or great loss of public or private property, shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years or criminal detention; anyone who causes a traffic accident and then flees or has other particularly heinous circumstances shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of three to seven years; anyone whose flight causes death shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than seven years. The question describes "causing a major accident resulting in death and then fleeing the scene," so the answer is 3 to 7 years. "Causing death due to flight" would be over 7 years.
