A video of the incident was uploaded by web user 'Yuan Qicong' on Weibo, a Chinese social media platform , on June 7.

The post has been viewed more than 26 million times.

The footage shows the woman, in white top, waiting in the middle of the road as she tried to go to the other side.

A red taxi drove past the zebra lines without stopping and hit the woman.

About five onlookers stood near the woman and witnessed the accident. However, none of them went up to help the woman.  

In the next minute, more than 20 onlookers crossed the road. They ignored the woman who appeared to be struggling.

Cars drove past her slowly, but none stopped to help her.

The woman lifted her head and appeared to be struggling to get up.

Another minute later, a silver SUV drove past the crossing and ran straight over the woman.

The video ends as a female driver came out form the SUV and looked at the victim.

There are no traffic lights at the crossing, according to Beijing Times, a Chinese newspaper,

None of the passersby stopped to check the wounded woman or call the ambulance

Henan police bureau posted a statement last night confirming the incident.

According to the statement, the traffic accident took place at the crossroad of Jiefang Avenue and Xueyuan Road in Zhumadian city, Henan Province, at 7:54pm on April 21. 

The victim has been identified by her surname Ma. 

Ms Ma was killed during the accident, said the statement. The two drivers, surnamed Zhang and Liu respectively, were found by the police on the morning of April 22.

Zhumadian police said they are still investigating the incident. The drivers are expected to face prosecution. 

Another minute later, a silver SUV drove past the crossroad and ran over the woman

The incident has sparked heated discussions online. 

Many people condemned the passersby to be 'cold-hearted' and wondered how they could have watched a person die.

One web users questioned: 'What kind of society are we living in? 

'If I were there, I would have stopped all the cars and called emergency services for the woman. I guess this is the basic principle of humanity, isn't it?'

Another user, with a screen name 'Li_naaa', said: 'How difficult is it to dial a number and call an ambulance?'

'Roleo' criticised: 'A country will never be a great country if their people have such disgracing personality.'

The driver stopped her car about a metre away and got out to check on the victim

However, some people defended the passersby by saying they could be unsure of the authenticity of the accident.

One of them said: 'I guess most of the people there wanted to help, but they were scared. They didn't know if they should lift her up or not.'

There were comments blaming the police for posting a statement only after the video was revealed to the public.

'Two months later and they are still investigating?' One web user asked.

'Though the drivers have been tracked down by the police, what would happened afterwards? The statement did not explain anything,' said 'AudreyLiJiaJia'.

This is very disturbing. I seem to be seeing more of these videos from China on Daily Mail.

I remember reading an article awhile back in which a good Samaritan got sued for helping a woman who was hit by a bus. I think that incident was in China. Perhaps no one helped because the laws there permit a lawsuit for helping.

 I was going to post something similar. I don't get it.  Although I see Chef posted about lawsuits, perhaps that is why.

Perhaps they were in shock. Perhaps they were afraid of liability. Perhaps they were afraid of getting hit themselves. Perhaps their culture is such that this is commonplace and they are numb to it. Perhaps they thought it was a hit and didn't want to get in the crossfire. Who knows. But it's tragic nonetheless.

 They live in a Country where the cities' population is so overwhelming and I'm sure very annoying and frustrating that it de-sensitizes people. Plus they are communist and have come to rely on the gov't to take care of everything.

 SO, they just cease to become human beings then?

 No they are human beings, but Humans living in a Country that has laws and government overreach that compels them to ignore humane carnage.  It's really sad.

I don't think you are a human being anymore if you can just ignore something like that.

Not surprised a bit. Every day on TV here we have two or three shots of some weird accident in China. I can believe that anything can happen there.
Much of Asia has a "I do not want to get involved" mentality that results in things like this happening.

If that happened here i think that people would have run out to stop traffic and someone would have rendered aid and others would have called 911.

The story I mentioned earlier about the good Samaritan being sued is at the end of this article. I don't think this is the exact one I read but it addresses the issue.

Would like to read the article, but do not want to subscribe. At least that is what I get when I click on the link.

Another thought. Over here, it seems that the one who gets involved gets involved for expenses, after care, etc. etc. Even a call to the police for an emergency takes literally hours of explanation later as to why you were in that location, where you are from, etc. etc. (Does not matter if you are Japanese or foreign).

 I didn't get a message to subscribe. I wish I knew how to fix that for you. Maybe someone can find a better link.

Sorry about that, Karl.

I think it is because I use Goggle News and I have used up my "free" access to the Washington Post for this month... Anyway, no problem.

That article came up fro me. It made very good points. I think mind your own business is fine. But, minding your own business while you literally just stand by and watch another human being die right in front of you that you could have prevented is a whole nother level. That is sick and callous beyond belief.

It is a sad sad sad world when folks die as a result of people assuming what really might have happened was a fake incident such as what we see here.

I feel for the poor woman, but I also feel for her family. Can you imagine being her husband or child, sibling or parent, and seeing a report of that and watching, all the time wondering "Why isn't anyone helping???"?

They probably aren't wondering because they already know that if you are a victim in China that you will be completely ignored. I was googling the bystander problem in China and this is common. Apparently a 2 yr old was run over and the van driver who hit him stopped, then everyone stood there looking, then the van driver DROVE over the child again and then finally the mother ran out into the street and nobody cared.
In another instance a woman somehow get her head caught in a railing and she asphyixiated and there was no aid rendered.
You can find multiple instances of this.
