I saw at least one accident every single day in China. One was fatal and we saw the firemen moving this lady's mangled body out of the car. Another we saw was a group of men holding down a truck driver, who tried to flee on foot after hitting a bicyclist. Crossing the street as a pedestrian in China is the most dangerous thing you'll ever do there. Some cities are more orderly than others. Chengdu, for example, has crossing guards everywhere and people tend to obey them. But be prepared for a tsunami of bicycles coming at you when the light turns green. Guangzhou is totally lawless and crossing the street there can be a real chore. It's terrifying. China is one of those countries where people stop for cars.
I think Ian is referring to this guy.
