In central China’s Changde city, a car crashed into pedestrians, including students, outside a primary school on Tuesday morning, injuring several. The incident, which occurred in Hunan province, has left the public shocked, although authorities have not disclosed the exact number of casualties. A 39-year-old male suspect has been arrested, and an investigation is ongoing.
Videos on social media show schoolchildren running for safety as the car struck people on the road. Authorities quickly responded, arresting the suspect and securing the scene. Fortunately, none of the victims are believed to have life-threatening injuries.
This incident follows a recent wave of violent attacks in China, including a car-ramming attack that killed 35 people in Zhuhai, prompting widespread concern over rising violence. The government has ramped up censorship to suppress online discussion and maintain public order.
