A man drove his SUV into a crowd of students and pedestrians outside a school in Changde, China, on Tuesday, causing numerous injuries but no reported fatalities.
Police said the driver, identified only by his surname “Hung,” has been taken into custody and is under investigation. No definitive statement was made about whether the incident was aor an accident. Previous car attacks in China have racked up awful body counts, but in this case no fatalities have been reported as of Tuesday afternoon and only a few of the injuries were serious enough to require hospitalization.
As with other recent car attacks, Chinese social media quickly filled with photos and videos of injured people sprawled on the ground and frightened students running for safety.social media posts about last week’s horrifying car massacre in Zhuhai and even destroyed physical memorials erected to the victims, so they will probably take similar action to silence discussion of the Changde incident.
“Why are such incidents happening more and more frequently lately, hit-and-runs, and always involving students? What has happened to society now?” one anguished user asked Tuesday on Weibo, China’s heavily censored X-like microblogging site.“These are symptoms of a society with a lot of pent-up grievances. Some people resort to giving up.
