Heartbreaking video has emerged of the moment a woman lost control of her Porsche at around 100 mph and crashed outside Seattle, killing her passenger, only to flee the country days later to her native China.
Ting Ye, 26, was driving a 2020 Porsche 911 on 112th Avenue Northeast toward Highway 520 in Bellevue, Washington, with passenger Yabao Liu, 27, when the horrific crash occurred around 4 a.m. on Sept. 30. , the Seattle Times reported.
The white sports car zoomed through several intersections before hitting a cement barricade and going airborne, according to traffic camera footage obtained by KING 5.
The vehicle landed upside down, killing Liu, also a Chinese national, according to charging documents cited by the outlet.

First responders were not called to the scene until about 45 minutes later, when someone noticed the wrecked vehicle and contacted 911, WPDE reported.
When they arrived and removed the two occupants, they discovered Liu was dead and noticed a “strong odor of alcohol” coming from Ye, according to the documents.
Due to the severity of the accident, it took police a while to determine who was driving, the outlet reported. Ye then invoked his right not to speak to investigators.
An investigator was not able to meet with medical personnel who responded to the scene until a week later, according to the outlet.

Ye was released from the hospital on Oct. 6 and then crossed the border into Vancouver, Canada, three days later with the help of an acquaintance and took a flight to China, authorities said.
Around the same time, the King County Prosecutor’s Office entered a warrant charging her with vehicular manslaughter.

In those documents, prosecutors requested that bail be set at $2 million. They also asked that she be ordered to surrender his passport and not leave Washington state without the court’s permission, the Seattle Times reported.
“At that point, she was not free to leave, but she was already gone,” Bellevue police spokesman Officer Seth Tyler told the newspaper.
On October 23, a judge issued an arrest warrant for Ye when she failed to show up for her arraignment.

If you re-enter the United States, the warrant will be flagged, Tyler said, adding that police will request an Interpol Red Notice, which flags any travel to a country with which the United States has an extradition treaty.
The case has become a political issue since it was handed over to the US Department of Justice, KING 5 reported.
Former Washington Governor Gary Locke, also a former US ambassador to China, noted the lack of an extradition treaty between the two countries.
“The story is not over. Yes, she was able to evade the arrest warrant, but if she ever traveled to another country, say to Europe for business or pleasure to an area, to a country that does have an extradition treaty with the United States, she would be flagged when she entered. to that country by Interpol and subject to extradition to the United States if the United States government so desires,” Locke told KING 5.
Bellevue police said they are working with federal agencies and international law enforcement partners to apprehend Ye.
Tyler said the agency will review its policies to determine if the procedure should be changed.
“Our plea to [Ye] is for her to come back and realize there is a grieving family involved here,” he told the Seattle Times. “They really need to close this. …She can put an end to this matter by returning to the United States.”
