On February 15, a news of "a truck driver in Zhangzhou, Fujian Province, hit people in the street madly, causing 3 deaths and 9 injuries" went viral on the Internet, and after the news was released, it quickly occupied the headline list of major media, which immediately aroused the warm attention of netizens.

From the information initially disclosed, it appears that this is a simple traffic hit-and-run accident, and the perpetrator caused secondary injuries during the escape. However, the latest news shows that the truck is suspected of being hijacked with a knife after the deliberate injury accident occurred, which is also an important reason why this incident has aroused great concern in public opinion.
The accident occurred at about 13:28 on February 14 at a crossroads in Nanjing County, Zhangzhou City, Fujian Province. After knocking down a battery car, a white truck continued to frantically accelerate and escape, and in the process of fleeing, it knocked down a number of passers-by in succession.
The exposed surveillance video shows that at that time, a fast white truck was passing through an intersection on the street, and there was a battery car riding in front of it about ten meters apart, looking at someone in front of it, but the truck driver did not have the slightest intention of slowing down, directly hit the electric vehicle that was riding, only to see the electric vehicle with people directly hit and fly to a few meters away.
The victim's battery car was knocked off and fell in the middle of the road
At this time, the truck that caused the accident not only did not brake, but also did not slow down, continued to drive wildly, and then hit multiple cars and pedestrians in a row.
Witnesses at the scene were simply stunned by this scene, and the horror pictures that can only be seen in Hong Kong and Taiwan dramas were actually staged in front of their eyes and in real life. Therefore, nearby citizens rushed to call the police.
After receiving the police, the local police and medical personnel quickly arrived at the scene of the incident. Despite the efforts to rescue, the accident has caused 3 deaths and 9 injuries.
Paramedics rescue the injured
On the night of the incident, the Nanjing Public Security Bureau issued a police information circular saying that the injured person had been sent to the hospital for full treatment and was not in danger of life. The perpetrators have been taken into custody and the cause of the incident is under investigation.
Judging from the surveillance video, the perpetrators are obviously a vicious incident created by man. Just when many people thought it was just an ordinary traffic hit-and-run accident. On the afternoon of February 15, the event reversed.
According to Mr. Han, the owner of the truck that caused the accident (not the perpetrator himself), at noon on February 14, his brother drove his own truck. When his brother drove to a temporary parking lot in a small alley next to the Jingnan New Farmers' Market, when his brother returned, a strange man was already sitting in the car, still holding a sharp knife. At this time, Mr. Han's brother tried to return the snatched truck, but not only was he unsuccessful, but his chest and hand were also slashed.

After the strange man hijacked the vehicle, he started the vehicle and sped away. Mr. Han also revealed that at present, his brother is still in the hospital for treatment, and his health is no longer in serious trouble.
This statement was also confirmed by a merchant who runs a department store wholesale at the Jingnan New Farmers' Market, who said that he had witnessed Mr. Han's brother calling the police on the side of the road after getting out of the car, and later heard the news that a truck had crashed into the city.
The man in charge was on the phone on the side of the road
According to another witness at the scene of the incident, the truck that caused the accident was stopped after reaching the intersection of the South Ring Road in Nanjing County, when an electric car was stuck in front of the front of the truck, and the door of the cab was open. The driver of the accident was a man dressed in black, who got out of the car and was still on the road on the phone. Soon after, he was captured by 3 uniformed personnel who arrived.
The man who caused the incident was subdued by the police
At present, the incident has not yet been finalized, and the local police are still nervously investigating. A series of questions, such as the cause of this incident and the motives of the perpetrators, have yet to be released by the final results of the police investigation.
