On the evening of August 25, in Jingdezhen, Jiangxi Province, a man driving a car hit people on the street, resulting in the death of two individuals and one person injured.
A viral video showed the man driving a black car knocking down two people on the road, then turning the car around and repeatedly crushing the two individuals he had hit before. Two pedestrians tried to drag the injured away, but the man drove his car towards them. In the video, a woman exclaimed, “He’s coming back to run them over again!”
The incident sparked heated discussions online. Many netizens commented, “The original video is too tragic, hitting several times, merciless.” “It’s brutal, repeatedly running over back and forth.” “Why is it Jingdezhen again? Last time, a family of three was killed crossing the road in Jingdezhen too.” “The previous incident in Jingdezhen involving a family of three hasn’t been resolved yet, and now this.”
On August 26, Ms. Cai, a resident near the scene of the incident, told “Extreme News” that on the night of the 25th, she heard arguing and saw someone driving on the road hitting people from upstairs. After going downstairs, Ms. Cai learned that the male driver hit two people with his car and another person who tried to help the injured on the ground was also hit.
On August 26, the Zhu Mountain Sub-Bureau of Jingdezhen Public Security Bureau reported that around 22:20 on August 25, there was a deliberate injury criminal case on Zhenxing Avenue, Zhu Mountain District. Three injured persons were sent to the hospital for treatment, with two of them dying despite rescue efforts and one not in critical condition. The suspect Li Moumou (male, 40 years old) has been detained, and preliminary investigation indicated that the case was triggered by “emotional disputes”.
However, according to netizens from Jiangxi Province, “It is said in the group chat that the driver lost 170,000 yuan in a gambling setup.” “The man (after hitting people) attempted suicide in the car but failed.” “Everyone in Jingdezhen is saying that they set him up during a card game. How did it turn into an emotional dispute?” “It’s not an emotional dispute, it’s a dispute over interests.” “It’s not about emotional disputes, it seems that the victims set him up, like a ‘kill the pig’ scheme, which led to this.”
Some netizens who watched the original video commented, “The two women lying on the ground, I saw them in the original video.”
Netizens expressed various emotions, “These days, things are really getting out of control.” “In recent years, everyone seems to have a lot of grievances.” “Impulse is the devil!”
