Recently, in Jiangxi’s Anyuan County, a black sedan crashed into a night market, resulting in at least 7 injuries and damage to multiple electric vehicles and motorcycles.
A video circulating online shows a black sedan parked near the night market stalls, with its front end severely damaged. Surrounding it are several electric vehicles and motorcycles knocked to the ground. The driver remained seated in the driver’s seat without disembarking, while medical personnel attended to the injured.
According to Dafeng News, the incident occurred near the Anyuan County Swimming Pool on Zhonggang Road in Anyuan County, Jiangxi Province. An eyewitness described the scene as extremely dangerous, recalling that while having supper nearby, a black sedan suddenly crashed in, knocking down several electric vehicles along the way for about a hundred meters before coming to a stop. After the accident, the driver stayed inside the vehicle, appearing somewhat disoriented.
A nearby merchant mentioned that the incident took place around 8:40 pm on August 8th. The sedan hit over a dozen electric vehicles and motorcycles, causing injuries to several individuals.
In response, personnel from the Anyuan County Traffic Police Brigade stated that the accident is under investigation, and the cause as well as the number of injured individuals will be officially communicated later.
On August 9th, the Public Security Bureau of Anyuan County in Ganzhou City, Jiangxi Province, reported that 7 civilians and the driver were injured in the accident, with multiple electric vehicles and motorcycles damaged. The injured were taken to hospitals for treatment, with one individual in critical condition and six sustaining minor injuries. “Upon testing, the driver, Xie (male, 57 years old), was found to be driving under the influence of alcohol.” Currently, Xie is under investigation.
The report sparked skepticism among netizens, with some questioning, “Wouldn’t testing for drunk driving take just a couple of minutes? Why the delay in stating that the driver was intoxicated?”
Others commented, “From the description of the situation, this is not just a traffic accident; it seems to be an intentional ramming of electric vehicles parked and pedestrians at the night market stalls. Considering the extent of damage to the vehicle and the consciousness of the driver, this incident seems more complex.” “People are taken away first; investigate their social relationships as those with connections and without will lead to different public announcements.”
