BEIJING (AFP)
A vehicle crashed into pedestrians near a school in Beijing at lunchtime Thursday, Chinese police said, with footage shared online appearing to show young people lying injured in the street.
Videos, which were geolocated by AFP to an intersection in Miyun district in the northeast of the capital, showed a grey SUV wedged against a tree as several people and clothing were seen in the road.
In one clip a bloodied young person was seen being given first aid by somebody in white overalls.
"On June 26, 2025, at around 13:00, a traffic accident occurred near the intersection of Yucai Road and Dongmen Street in Miyun district," local police wrote in an online statement.
A 35-year-old man surnamed Han "collided" with people "due to an improper operation", it said, adding those injured were taken to hospital.
"The accident is under further investigation," the statement said.
