Moment ‘drunk’ Porsche 911 driver flies off highway before ‘fleeing US’
Ting Ye managed to flee the country before she could be apprehended.
A woman crashed her sports car at 100 miles per hour and killed her passenger – but fled the country for China before she was caught, police said.
Ting Ye, 26, was behind the wheel of a glamorous Porsche 911 in the early morning hours of September 30.
According to police, Ye lost control of her car after speeding up to over 100 miles per hour.
Footage from traffic cameras obtained by KING5 show the car speeding down the streets of Bellevue, Washington around 4.00am that morning.
The shocking footage shows the Porsche sideways through an intersection before colliding with a barrier. It then flips over onto its roof on the side of the road.
The collision killed the person sitting in Ye’s passenger seat, 27-year-old Yabao Liu.
First responders at the scene noticed a ‘strong odor of alcohol’ coming from Ye’s breathe, according to an arrest warrant.
Ye was hospitalized after the crash with non-life-threatening injuries, the Bellevue Police said.
Ye has since been charged with vehicular homicide. Her bail was set for $2million, but she managed to flee the country before she could be apprehended.
Prosecutors believe Ye crossed the northern border into Canada after she was released from the hospital on October 6. Shortly afterward, she boarded a flight to China.
Prosecutors have since referred her case to the Justice Department. However, the US does not have an extradition treaty with China.
Gary Locke, the former Governor of Washington and the former US ambassador to China, told KING 5 that Ye could still face legal repercussions if she traveled internationally.
‘Yes, she was able to elude the arrest warrant, but if she were to ever travel to another country, let’s say to Europe on business or pleasure to an area, to a country that does have an extradition treaty with the United States she’ll be flagged when she enters that country by Interpol and subject to extradition back to the United States,’ Locke told the station.
