Driver angry over divorce kills 35 people in China’s deadliest attack in a decade

What happened: The tragedy occurred around 7:48 p.m. when Fan’s SUV rammed into several fitness walking groups at the Zhuhai People’s Fitness Plaza, striking victims across the circular track of the sports field. The disaster occurred just before Zhuhai was due to host the Zhuhai Airshow, China’s largest aviation exhibition, on November 12 and 17. Fan, who tried to flee but was found in his car with self-inflicted injuries, is currently in hospital and unconscious. Police reports reveal a history of failed legal actions related to his divorce, but censors removed these details from official statements. This is China’s highest death toll in a public attack since 2014, when terrorists crashed two cars into shoppers in Xinjiang, killing 31 people.
