Chinese media recently reported that a 62-year-old man drove his car into a crowd of people on a football field, resulting in the death of 35 individuals and injuring 43 others.

According to Chinese media reports, this incident occurred yesterday evening. The casualty count rose following further investigations, with the current death toll confirmed at 35.

Foreign media reported that the accident happened when a car struck a crowd at a sports complex in the city of Zhuhai, located in southern China.

Police officials stated that the driver of the vehicle was a 62-year-old man who has since been detained by local authorities.

Investigations revealed that the man, reportedly angry after a court-mandated division of shared assets with his ex-wife following a divorce, drove into a busy sports complex frequented by hundreds daily, hitting dozens of people.

It is also noted that the perpetrator, on the brink of being apprehended, inflicted severe stab wounds on himself and is currently in a coma.
