On August 22, a reporter from Xiaoxiang Morning News learned from the driver's relatives and friends that in the previously highly-publicized incident of "a child in Hebei who fell off his bicycle and was crushed to death by an oncoming car", no agreement was reached between the car driver and the child's family, and the traffic police did not issue a responsibility determination letter. The case has now been transferred to the procuratorate "on suspicion of manslaughter."

The reporter of Xiaoxiang Morning News contacted the government office of Ducheng County. The staff said that the criminal police brigade of the county public security bureau was in charge of the matter and they were not clear about the progress. The criminal police brigade of the county public security bureau said that it was inconvenient to disclose the information over the phone and that they could call the political work department of the county public security bureau. The command center of the county public security bureau also registered the reporter's contact information and said that they would report back to the political work department. So far, no one has answered the phone of the political work department of the county public security bureau, and the reporter has not received any relevant response.

A reporter from Xiaoxiang Morning News later verified from the Rongcheng County Procuratorate that the case has indeed been transferred to the procuratorate.As to whether the driver is suspected of causing death by negligence, the staff said that the case is being handled and the specific details of the case are inconvenient to disclose.

Xiaoxiang Morning News previously reported that on August 11, a father in Hebei was riding with his child in a cycling group when the child fell and was run over by an oncoming car, which attracted a lot of attention.

On August 13, an insider told the reporter of Xiaoxiang Morning News the details of the incident, saying that the man crying beside the child in the video was the child's father, the child's age could not be determined, and the driver who hit the child was also a nearby villager. The section of the road where the accident occurred was a section that had not been completed and accepted and was not open to traffic. The section was the right bank of the Nanjuma River, near Nanhoutai Village, Jiaguang Township, Rongcheng County.

The relatives of the driver later told reporters that they did not have time to dodge when the accident happened. As the road section where the accident happened was not open to traffic, the accident was handled by the criminal police, and it is not clear who should be held responsible.

On August 14, a reporter from Xiaoxiang Morning News learned from many local villagers and cyclists that the section of road where the accident occurred was a flood control embankment. The construction party had posted notices at many places along the road stating that non-construction personnel and vehicles were prohibited from passing. However, because it was more convenient, many villagers chose to drive through this section to go to work. In addition, nearby villagers would go up the embankment for a walk, and cyclists also often chose this section.
