Southern China Car Ramming Incident Leaves 35 Dead

A horrific incident occurred in Quangong Province, southern China, where a man in his 60s drove his car into pedestrians exercising outside a sports complex, resulting in the deaths of at least 35 individuals and injuring more than 43. Witnesses reported that local residents attempted to prevent journalists from covering the scene as shockwaves rippled through the community. According to the police, the driver was reportedly upset over a property dispute following his divorce. The Chinese authorities have since closed off the sports complex, which is usually a hub for community activities like dancing and exercising. President Xi Jinping has called for local officials across the country to resolve community disputes to prevent incidents like this from occurring. As the situation unfolds, there are concerns that the death toll may rise due to the severity of the injuries sustained by victims. The driver also reportedly harmed himself and is currently in a coma, complicating further investigation into the motives behind this inexplicable act. Journalists continue to face resistance while trying to report on the incident, highlighting underlying tensions in the aftermath of this tragic event.
