A car crashes into a crowd of government supporters in Mashhad, Iran, killing at least four people and injuring more than 10. Reports say the driver loses control after striking another vehicle and barriers before entering the crowd during a rally. Emergency responders attend the scene and transport the injured to medical facilities.
Authorities describe the incident as a traffic accident and say they find no evidence that it is politically motivated. Multiple outlets report the driver is taken into custody. One report adds that preliminary checks find signs of abnormal behaviour, and that the driver is believed to have been apprehended after the crash.
The coverage focuses on different details. One source emphasizes the sequence of events—loss of control after contact with other cars and barriers—and the assessment by officials that there is no political intent. Another outlet includes information attributed to a traffic official, saying the driver is about 35 years old, holds a conditional license with medical restrictions, and is named through an intermediary report.
