Vancouver Car Crash: Death Toll Hits Double Digits 😭 Suspect Charged 4 Real

The Deets

Okay, fam, so Vancouver just had its worst day ever. A car straight-up ploughed into a crowd at the Lapu-Lapu Day festival – that's a Filipino celebration, btw. Like, imagine vibing with your crew and then BAM, chaos. Eleven people are gone, including a little one, only five years old. Over 20 others are messed up. It's a whole tragedy, no cap.

The dude behind the wheel, Kai-Ji Adam Lo, who is 30, has been charged with eight counts of second-degree murder. Peeps are saying he's had mental health struggles in the past and has interacted with the police before. Cops are still digging into everything, but they're pretty sure it wasn't terrorism. They think it was more related to the dude's mental state, which is just... messed up.

The Prime Minister Mark Carney, was like, "Yo, I'm shook," and even canned some campaign events out of respect. The president of the Philippines sent his love and sympathy to the victims and their families. And Vancouver's mayor, Ken Sim, said it's the city's "darkest day." Feels bad, man.

Witnesses at the scene were saying it was a total horror show. A makeshift memorial popped up, and people are holding vigils to honor those who were lost. The victims ranged from a five-year-old to someone in their 60s. Just a reminder that life can change in a heartbeat, so appreciate your loved ones, ya know?

The police are still investigating the situation with over 100 officers on the case. Mental health appears to be a major factor in the incident. First responders were on the scene, trying to help those in need. Local and national officials are giving condolences and offering support to the community.
