Deadly Incident Claims Over 35 Lives in Zhuhai
A tragic incident unfolded in Zhuhai, China, on Monday evening when a small SUV drove into a crowd of people exercising outside the Zhuhai Sports Centre, resulting in the deaths of at least 35 people and injuring 43 more. Authorities confirmed the devastating toll, describing the chaos and loss of life as one of the most severe incidents in the city in recent memory.
The Driver and the Alleged Motive Behind the Attack
The driver, a 62-year-old man identified only by his surname, Fan, allegedly drove his SUV through a barrier and into the crowded area. Local police reports indicate that Fan attempted to flee the scene after the attack but was arrested. Fan is currently in a coma due to self-inflicted injuries, rendering him unable to be questioned by authorities. Preliminary investigations suggest that Fan’s actions were motivated by personal grievances following a recent property settlement dispute linked to his divorce.
Authorities Await Clarity Amid Investigation
As the investigation proceeds, police have yet to question Fan due to his medical condition. His coma has delayed any direct answers about his intentions and planning. However, authorities are piecing together information from the scene and witness statements to better understand the circumstances surrounding the attack.
