Police in the eastern Chinese province of Shandong have arrested a driver after a car ploughed into a crowd of people at a bus stop on Sunday afternoon.
Authorities in the city of Tengzhou confirmed the crash on Monday afternoon, adding that the driver had been detained, according to Jimu News, an online media outlet affiliated with Hubei Daily, an official newspaper in central China.
It was the first Chinese news report of the incident, more than a day after a video of the crash was widely circulated on social media. Local authorities have not issued an official statement and further details have not been released.
“I hope all local authorities understand and trust the resilience of our society, and do not set a precedent of not releasing information to the public when such incidents occur,” Hu wrote in a social media post.
