Dozens dead as car ploughs into crowd in Chinese city

Police detained a 62-year-old man suspected of hitting joggers and speeding off on Monday evening, according to the state media. The alleged driver, identified as Mr Fan, drove his SUV through a barrier at Zhuhai Sports Centre in what local police say was a “serious and vicious attack”. He is in a coma and being treated for wounds thought to be self-inflicted.

Initial investigations suggested the attack had been triggered by unhappiness over a divorce property settlement, police said.
