Several people have been killed and multiple others were injured in Vancouver after a vehicle drove into a crowd at a Filipino street festival in the western Canadian city, police say.
Police said the incident happened shortly after 8pm on Saturday (03:00 GMT Sunday) in the city’s Sunset on Fraser neighbourhood, and that the driver, a 30-year-old man, had been taken into custody.
One witness told CTV News that he saw a black vehicle driving erratically in the area of the festival just before the crowd was struck, Reuters news agency reported.
Footage shared on social media captured the chaotic aftermath, showing bodies lying on the road as first responders and bystanders tried to help the injured. (AlJazeera)
