Sudden Car Crash Injures Many at Chinese Sports Center

Zhuhai, ChinaWed Nov 13 2024
This: a quiet evening at the Zhuhai Sports Center, a place where people go to exercise and socialize. Suddenly, a car comes speeding through, hitting multiple people and then taking off. This shocking event happened on Monday night, leaving many injured. The driver, a 62-year-old man, was later caught by the police. The incident happened just before a big airshow in the city. People were seen lying on the ground, some in sports outfits, with shoes scattered everywhere. The sports center is a popular spot for locals to exercise, and it's now closed until further notice. China, a country with generally low crime rates, has seen a few attacks on the public recently. In October, a man stabbed five people near a school in Beijing. In September, a knife attack in a Shanghai supermarket killed three and injured 15. Also in September, a bus hit a crowd outside a school in Tai’an, killing 11 and injuring 13. The causes of these incidents are still under investigation.
