The driver, who showed no remorse and laughed and joked about the deaths, has ignited a wave of public outrage online.
The tragedy occurred on October 2, 2024, when the man, surnamed Liao, from Jingdezhen in southeast China’s Jiangxi province, drove recklessly after an argument with his girlfriend.
He drove a Tesla at 129km/h on a road with a speed limit of 40km/h, ignoring his girlfriend’s repeated desperate pleas to slow down, until he ultimately struck three people.
The family consisted of a 31-year-old father, his 30-year-old wife, and their baby son, who was just days away from celebrating his first birthday.
They were crossing the road to visit their parents for dinner.
