According to authorities, a woman was purportedly under the influence of alcohol when she lost command of her Porsche. The vehicle, traveling at speeds close to 100 mph, veered off a highway in Washington state. The driver, identified as 26-year-old Ting Ye, collided with a concrete barrier, was launched across a retention pond for approximately 100 feet, and subsequently struck a concrete wall. The car came to rest upside down in a nearby grassy patch, where it remained for nearly 45 minutes until a witness discovered the scene and contacted emergency services.
The vehicle's passenger, Yabao Liu, was pronounced dead at the location of the accident. The report, shared by Fox News Digital, indicates that Ye survived the crash but subsequently returned to her home country of China, thus avoiding charges of vehicular homicide.
Prior to the tragic incident, Ye's white Porsche was merely a streak in the footage captured by traffic cameras, darting through multiple crossroads at speeds estimated between 92 and 94 mph. This information was corroborated by video evidence and documentation obtained by Fox News Digital.
Originating her journey from the heart of Bellevue, Washington, and heading north, the mishap occurred just before the dawn hour of 5 a.m. on the 30th of September. It was at this juncture that Ye failed to maintain command of her vehicle, which veered off course and barreled towards the barricade enveloped in a "great deal of tire smoke," as detailed in the report.
Post-accident analysis by investigators revealed that the vehicle's collision with the barrier happened at a speed exceeding 90 mph, a fact substantiated by the "significant tire marks" left at the scene.
"These marks originate in the southbound lane, even though (Ye) was traveling north," the report says. "I found no signs of impact with any object prior to the concrete barrier."
When the emergency teams reached the crash site, Ye was still present in the vehicle. As she was being treated, the first responders detected a "strong odor of alcohol," as stated in the report.
Ye was swiftly transported to a local hospital for treatment and was released on October 6, departing without informing the authorities.
Subsequent to her discharge, an associate of Ye's facilitated her journey to Vancouver, British Columbia. From there, she boarded a plane to China, just days before the King County prosecuting attorney's office initiated a vehicular homicide charge against her and authorized an arrest warrant. This coincided with her departure from Canada on October 10, a movement now under the scrutiny of police in collaboration with federal agencies.
Her failure to appear for the scheduled arraignment on October 23 led to the issuance of a bench warrant for her arrest.
Ting Ye, 26, was charged with vehicular homicide and bail was set at $2 million in Washington state for driving her Porsche 911 over 100 mph while intoxicated and killing her passenger

The pursuit of Ye is further complicated by the tense relations between the United States and China, especially since China has not entered into an extradition agreement with the U.S. According to worldpopulationreview.com, this absence of an extradition treaty means that "a person suspected of or convicted of a crime in the U.S., but who made it to China, cannot be apprehended and forced to return to the U.S. to face trial or punishment."
Bellevue Police Department's spokesperson Officer Seth Tyler expressed an appeal to Ye in a statement to The Seattle Times, urging her to consider the bereaved family that is seeking closure. He emphasized the importance of her return to the U.S. to bring an end to the proceedings.
Tyler also mentioned that should Ye set foot in the U.S. again, the outstanding warrant would be flagged immediately.
