Man drives into crowd at Chinese sports center: dozens affected
A tragic incident at a sports complex in Zhuhai left many dead and injured this week. Local residents gather to remember victims while police investigate the drivers personal-life motives
In a devastating turn-of-events two days ago a sports facility in Zhuhai became the site of a mass-casualty incident. Local people came together today to honor those who lost their lives when a car plowed through a crowd of exercise enthusiasts
The late-night incident resulted in 35 deaths and left 43 people with serious injuries; authorities quickly caught the suspect who tried to run away from the scene. The detained person Fan (a 62-year old local resident) had personal issues that led to this terrible act - police found out he was not happy with how his marriage ended
Law enforcement didnt share many specifics about the victims or provide extra details about the suspectʼs background. The community members brought flowers candles and other memorial items to the sports complex where people often gathered for their daily workout routines before this sad event happened
The incident shocked the usually-peaceful city which sits in Chinaʼs southern region. Local officials are now looking into ways to prevent such incidents - they plan to add more security measures around public exercise areas (something that wasnt common before)
