A car that crashed into another vehicle killing two on the spot was going at 195.2 km per hour, according to traffic police in Nanjing, Jiangsu province.
Nanjing Traffic Management Bureau said the BMW was over the speed limit and ran the red light when the accident happened on June 20, reported Shaanxi-based Huashang Daily on Monday.
The speed limit on city roads is between 40 km/h to 60 km/h while the car was going at 195.2 km/h which is nearly the speed of a bullet train.
The vehicle was going so fast that it would have taken it only 10 minutes to complete the whole 32.7-km-long second ring road in Beijing.
The police said the BMW driver was responsible for the fatal crash and will be arrested soon.
The driver faces three to seven years of imprisonment. But some legal experts believe that as the car was going so fast, the accused should be charged for threatening public security, an offense that carries 10 years sentence, life imprisonment and even death penalty.
