A taxi passenger received 360,000-yuan (US$52,709) compensation after he suffered injuries in a car crash caused by a drunk woman driver, according to the Jing'an District People's Court.
On the early morning of September 1 last year, Xiao Li, a 27-year-old Anhui Province native, drove after drinking in a bar.
Her car crashed into a taxi at the crossroad of Yan'an Road and Huashan Road, causing the passenger, who was identified as Lim, to suffer a leg fracture.
The defendants, after mediation by the judge, agreed to pay 360,000 yuan, including 115,000 yuan for medical treatment.
