TAOYUAN, Taiwan -- A police officer driving a patrol car hit and killed a drunk man lying in the middle of the road in Taoyuan early yesterday morning, the Central News Agency reported.

But a test on the victim showed a high level of alcohol, the CNA report said.

The family of the man said they were concerned that police would not be impartial handling the investigation, and they would invite third-party independent people to take part in the probe.
