nternational Desk News :: Six people died after a car lost control and slammed into bikes and other vehicles on a bridge in central China’s Hunan province early Monday morning, police said. Police said the car was rear-ended, sending it into incoming traffic travelling in the opposite direction. Another seven people were injured, police said.<\/p>\n
Footage on Chinese social media Monday showed a large white van rushing into oncoming traffic and barreling through vehicles on Lusong Bridge in the city of Zhuzhou.<\/p>\n
The footage showed debris scattered across the road as at least four ambulances were at the scene, blocking traffic.<\/p>\n
The cause of the accident is being investigated, according to state media Xinhua News Agency.<\/p>\n
Deadly traffic accidents occur frequently in China, due to lax safety standards and widespread disorderly driving. This month in a separate incident, a school bus ploughed into a crowd of people outside a middle school in eastern China, killing 11 parents and students.<\/p>\n
State broadcaster CCTV said the driver “lost control” of the vehicle as it approached the school in Shandong province’s Tai’an city.<\/p>\n
And in July, police said a vehicle crashed into pedestrians in the central city of Changsha, killing eight people and injuring five.<\/p>\n
A 55-year-old suspect living in the area was detained pending an investigation, but it was not clear if the incident was intentional.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
