The first driver hid himself refusing to be arrested. He even called a report and here is the translated part of the dialogue:
Reporter(R): Are you the one who ran over Yueyue?
Driver (A): I didn’t want that happen either. I’m just a driver.
R: Why did you call her father?
D: When the accident happened, I was on the phone.
R: Why didn’t you stop after running into something? Did you know you had hit somebody?
D: I knew I’ve run into a person. I was scared. If you hit somebody, you would ran away too.
R: Don’t you have any conscience? Why didn’t you save her?
D: I was too scared. I am just a driver.
R: How many years have you been driving? Don’t you know hit-and-run is a very severe crime?
D: I’ve been driving for 2 years. Who never makes a mistake? As you can see, that kid walked and looked around. If she walked more carefully, how would I run into her?
R: Was there any heavy goods on the truck?
D: Yes, that’s why I stepped on the gas.
R: Now how do you like to deal with this accident?
D: I want to offer them some money. But I don’t want to show up.

Later reporter called the accident driver again:
R: Do you want to turn yourself in now?
D: No. I’ve asked my friend to send my wife and kids over here from Guangxi. I’ll find a job in the construction site where no one knows me.
R: You want to hide yourself for the rest of your life?
D: I’m scared. I didn’t mean to (run over the girl.) Everybody makes mistake. I have a wife and a 14 year-old kid. Without me, they can’t survive.
R: One should be responsible for his own fault. You have kid too, don’t you know how Yueyue’s parent feel?
D: so what?
…
R: How is your feeling now?
D: sad..haha
R :At this point, you still laugh?
D: It’s a bitter smile. You have no idea how much pressure I’m under now. One word-’scared’. I would hide until I couldn’t anymore. I know sometime it take more than a few decades to catch a murder. I’m over 30 year-old now. In 30 years, I might have died. This whole thing would have been forgotten. I know how to deal with the cops. I would shy away from the big cities, just stay in the suburbs and don’t make big money.
R: Seeing your kid, wouldn’t that remind you of the little girl you ran over?
D: Why should I? She wasn’t even my kid.
…
R : How would you like to compensate the losses of Yueyue’s family?
D: I also have losses myself. I didn’t get my salary. I told my boss there was some emergency in my family and just quit the job.
On another interview he stated:
"You saw that girl on the CCTV footage, she didn't see where she was going, you know. I was on the phone when it happened, I didn't mean it. When I realized I had knocked her down, I thought I'd go down to see how she was. Then when I saw that she was already bleeding, I decided to just step on the gas pedal and escape seeing that nobody was around me. If she is dead, I may pay only about 20,000 yuan ($3,125). But if she is injured, it may cost me hundreds of thousands yuan. "It's a good thing that the first driver and the second driver was caught. I hope people won't be as apathetic especially when life is involved.
