Hit And Run Chinese Toddler Wang Yue Dies reel in eng http://news.gather.com/viewArticle.action?articleId=281474980628518
A two-year-old girl in southern China, who was run over by two vans and ignored by 18 passers-by, has died, hospital officials say. Surveillance camera footage showed people walking past the girl as she lay bleeding and unconscious.

Wang Yue was knocked down by a van while wandering through a market, where her parents run a shop. The driver sped off without checking on the girl's condition.

Over the following minutes, 18 people walked past the bleeding toddler, and another van ran over her legs, but no-one stopped to help.
A rubbish collector who finally moved the toddler to the side of the street was hailed as a national hero, but the incident led many online commentators to question the state of Chinese morality.

A spokesman for the hospital told the AFP news agency that Wang Yue had died of "systemic organ failure",
