Aftermath:
On 11 January 2023, the driver of a black BMW X3 deliberately rammed his vehicle into a crowd of pedestrians and motorists on Tianhe Road in Guangzhou, China, killing six people and injuring 29 others. 22-year-old Wen Qingyun was arrested in connection to the attack, sentenced to death, and subsequently executed on 19 April 2024.
The crash took place on Wednesday during the evening rush hour at a busy junction in the southern city of 19 million.
"He deliberately drove into the people who were waiting for the traffic light. He rammed the car into them maliciously. After that, he made a U-turn and hit people again," an eyewitness told local outlet Hongxin News.
"He wasn't driving too quickly, but some people couldn't run away in time because they wouldn't have known he was hitting people deliberately."
The man also reportedly drove into a traffic police officer and his motorcycle, but the officer managed to escape.
One widely circulated clip shows a young girl lying on the ground at the scene of the incident, while a woman said to be her mother is seen by her side wailing.
Another eyewitness described the chaos of the aftermath on Weibo, the Chinese version of Twitter. The person said that an hour after the incident, the site was still filled with ambulances and traffic police "and they had not moved all the injured and the bodies from the scene".
"The scene was too tragic and I couldn't bear seeing it. I felt so sad that I wanted to throw up whenever I heard the siren of the ambulance," the person said.
The incident has sparked public anger, with many expressing sorrow that it happened in the lead-up to Chinese New Year, a time for family reunions.
"The victims could be a girl who dressed up meticulously to go on a date… It could be a food deliveryman who earned five yuan after rushing an order. It could be a father who wanted to go home and have dinner with children. It could be a child who was happily shopping," one Weibo user wrote.
Many noted that the man drove a luxury car and had thrown money into the air, and asked if he came from a rich and powerful family.
The incident quickly became a trending topic on Weibo on Wednesday, but it later disappeared from the "hot searches" list, leading users to accuse the platform of censorship.
There have been similar recent incidents. In February 2022, a driver ploughed a mini truck into people in the southern province of Fujian, killing three and injuring nine.
Earlier this week, a hotel guest in Shanghai deliberately drove his car into the lobby following an argument with staff. Nobody was injured in that incident.
Timeline of the attack:

This took place in Viña del mar, Chile, in December 17th 2021, during an illegal street race.
Kristofer Fallaque was a 39-year-old Peruvian man that moved to Chile looking for better oppotunities for himself and his family; he was married and had a daughter.
In the very early hours of the morning Kristofer tried to cross the Camino Internacional Street; when he attempted to cross the street he was run over by one of the speeding vehicles in the race, a blue BMW, killing him instantly; after running Kristofer over the person driving the BMW tried to flee, but because of state of the vehicle after the impact, they were only able to drive 1km before being stopped by the people that witnessed the incident until the police arrived.
AFTERMATH
(I also found the aftermath of the blue BMW)
The BMW driver was swiftly taken into police custody, and they were later put on house arrest while they awaited trial; i did not find any information on who this person was or what their sentence was but we can assume that they were convicted for involuntary manslaughter, and that carries a sentence of 12 months to 8 years in prison with possibility of perole; it can also include a fine along with the prison sentence (i'm not a lawyer, and i truly hope i did not commit any mistakes while writing this specific part).
PERSONAL NOTE
In every video post i do (excluding Effortposts) i also like to do a little bit of research to give the video some context and if possible a backstory, although in this case i feel like it got a little bit too extensive. This post is not meant to be an Effortpost, because i personally consider it did not take that much effort for me to make (i hope this doesn't sound like i'm bragging or something), but if the admins consider this does count as an effort post then so be it. While i was doing my small research i did not spect the backstory to be this tragic, and this case also really SHOWED me how dangerous an illegal street race can be. In links below there are also statements given by Kristofer's family members and acquaintances, so if you speak spanish i strongly recommend you to checking them.
IMPORTANT CORRECTION (05/05/2024): At first i thought that he was unaware that there was a street race taking place but recently i realised he was well aware because he was invited by his coworkers; i also realised that he was drunk and he tried to cross the street to avoid the police. I'm sorry for not giving the correct information, in the future i will be more careful.

Car Accident on Route to Diu In Ahmedabad: Hit Biker, Shop Rammed, Elderly Man Crushed
In the vicinity of Khawgali near Una city, the driver lost control over the steering wheel early in the morning, leading to a crash into the pav bhaji shop. Outside the shop, an elderly person was hit by the car and tragically lost his life at the scene. The police have taken custody of the vehicle for further investigation into the incident.
Accident Due to Loss of Steering Control
A family residing in Ahmedabad had come out in their car with registration number GJ-06-PR-2526 and was heading towards the park. Near Khawgali, on the main road, the car's driver lost control over the steering wheel, causing the car to crash straight into the pav bhaji shop. The shop's exterior housed an elderly man named Dineshbhai Gandhi. He succumbed to his injuries at the scene of the accident. The incident caused significant damage to the shop's shutter, glass, tables, and even the pillars of the shop's exterior. Additionally, a bike with registration number GJ-32-AB-7276 was also damaged due to flying debris.
Fatality at the Scene Involving Elderly Pedestrian
The accident involved a car carrying a single family along with four individuals, including children. The car was speeding so much that upon impact, the airbags deployed. Among the occupants was a child named Mihir Kapilbhai Shah. Ahmedabad witnessed grave concerns. While others suffered minor to major injuries, all were promptly attended to by the Emergency 108 ambulance service and were taken to the nearest private hospital for treatment.
Police Take Action at the Scene
The accident caused a commotion on the road, with vehicles and bystanders crowding the area, leading to traffic congestion. Consequently, the police arrived at the scene to clear the traffic and ensure smooth flow. The front portion of the car's bonnet was severely damaged. Upon learning about the accident, the owner of the pav bhaji shop, Bipinbhai Chaganbhai Bambhaniya, rushed to the scene immediately.
Government of Gujarat's Board Mentioned on the Car
It's worth noting that the car, in which the Ahmedabad family was traveling, had the Government of Gujarat's board affixed to its front and a doctor's symbol on its rear window. In the aftermath of the accident, the elderly person's body, who lost his life, was taken to a government hospital for postmortem. The police took further steps for a thorough investigation into the matter.
