At least 35 dead & 43 injured after ‘deranged driver bitter over divorce’ rams his 4×4 through crowd of joggers in China

AT least 35 people are dead and 43 are injured after a driver fuming about his divorce rammed his SUV into a crowd.

The horror smash happened in China – with Xi Jinping urging “all-out efforts“ to save those hurt.

Initial police reports said the sick man circled the sport complex several times and drove down exercisers after he became dissatisfied with the division of property in a divorce.

The 62-year-old driver, with the surname Fan, then stabbed himself in the neck in an act of self-harm and fell into a coma after the attack, Global Times reports.

Video published on Chinese social media shows bodies lying on the ground in pools of blood and lost shoes lying across the asphalt.

Later, police and emergency services could be seen next to the car shining a torch into the driver’s seat after it was pulled over.

Those who dodged the speeding motor bravely tended to the people who had been hit – but 27 ambulances were still needed to treat the injured.

Videos were posted online but were quickly censored by Chinese authorities, a report claimed.

Japan’s public broadcaster was blocked by Chinese censors after it aired video of the attack.

The sports complex, located in the southern city of Zhuhai, Guangdong Province, was popular with joggers and walkers.

The tragedy comes just a day before the city was set to host a major airshow that features China’s new J-35 stealth fighter.
