Police confirmed that nine people lost their lives and several others were injured after a driver drove into a crowd at a street festival in Vancouver, Canada, on Saturday night.

The driver was apprehended after the incident, which occurred at East 41st Ave. and Fraser Street.

In a statement on their X account, the police expressed, “Our thoughts are with all those affected by this tragic incident.”

While police have not yet disclosed a possible motive, they identified the suspect as a 30-year-old man from Vancouver.
