Horrifying moment 'drunk driving' Porsche 911 driver Ting Ye loses control and ... trends now
A driver who is accused of killing her passenger when she lost control and crashed her Porsche on a Washington freeway - while allegedly drunk - has left the country.
Ting Ye, 26, was charged with vehicular homicide and bail was set at $2million - but she quickly fled to her home country of China before she could be apprehended.
New traffic camera footage showed the horrific moment Ye allegedly drove the white sports car at 100mph and crashed the vehicle on September 30.
She mangled her Porsche 911 around 4am after it went flying through the air near 108th Ave NE and SR 520 in Bellevue - and police say there are suspicions she was driving under the influence of alcohol.
Her passenger, 27-year-old Yabao Liu, died in the crash. He and Ye had to be removed from the heavily-damaged vehicle. It's unclear what their connection is.

Both Ye and Liu come from China and were in Washington for work, records show.
According to court documents, a first responder noted the 'strong odor of alcohol coming from the defendant's breath,' in the aftermath of the crash.
Bellevue police believe Ye was released from Harborview Medical Center with minor injuries before crossing the border into Canada and fleeing to China.
Her flight occurred just days before the King County prosecuting attorney's office filed a charge of vehicular homicide, with a warrant for her arrest.
Because she is no longer in the country, Ye's case has since been escalated and handed over to the U.S. Department of Justice.
There is no extradition order between the US and China, meaning the Chinese government is not obligated to force Ye to return
