There's a terrible accident in Kunming,Yunnan province,China.
According to Kunming Police Department deputy Su zhizhong said,about 19:50 on 25th,Feb,a black car broke traffic rule to turned left on crossing of Beijing Avenue and Dongfeng Avenue,two trunk avenues in city center.After hit two pedestrians,the car lost control and rammed the crowd on a bus station,crossing sidewalks,which made more people be run down.

4 persons died,22 were injured in the accident so far.Car licence:AA6045,show that it's owned by local government.Official deputy said person be arrested is just a driver of government. But some witnesses saw one more person in the car,people suppose that he is a dignitary,because no one dare to break traffic rule overtly at such a time(7:50pm),in such a place(city center) where're many traffic cops around,except dignitaries of government.

Anyway this is just a "guess",we cant get more details because it's said that all local media is not allowed to report this now.

WOW! I am amazed that photographers were able to get this close to the scene and actually photographed the accident victims.

Also - I think China defeated itself by buying into the automobile market. Autos are the probably the worst invention for mankind - at elast with large populations. Perhaps rural it is fine. But the pollution, the accidents, the costs, etc. Certainly I would prefer bicycles and horses. Without autos on the road, bicycles are much safer and they also keep people from getting fat!

Anyway --- I think as China increases it's car population, this is just hte beginning of bad accidents if the US and otehr palces are any indication. Actually I think Europe is a bit...
