Late last month, a car struck children near an elementary school in an outlying district of Beijing, according to a Chinese news report.
A four-sentence police statement said a 35-year-old male driver hit pedestrians due to “improper operation” of the car. It didn't mention the school or that the victims included children. Photos of the aftermath, which showed a half-dozen people lying in the street, were scrubbed from China’s closely controlled internet.
