After driving south on McDonnell Rd, Zhao came to an intersection with State Highway 6 at Arrow Junction and indicated to turn right. Judge Phillips said he knew of the intersection where the incident occurred. Judge Phillips said the driving conduct was ''patently careless'' and he disregarded the fact the defendant was a tourist for the purpose of sentencing. He ordered Zhao to pay the drivers of the other vehicles affected $750 each and banned him from driving for nine months.
