At the Lapu Lapu Day festival in Vancouver, a car collided with a crowd at 8:14 p.m., leading to multiple fatalities and injuries. A 30-year-old man was arrested, and the Major Crime Section is investigating. Mayor Kenneth Sim expressed shock and sadness, stressing community support. Canadian political leaders, including Prime Minister Mark Carney, offered condolences and expressed solidarity with the Filipino-Canadian community during this distressing time. Video evidence showed severe scenes, highlighting the event's tragic turn from celebration to chaos.
The driver of a car struck revelers at a street festival in Canada, killing and injuring an unknown number of people at the event celebrating Filipino culture.
I am shocked and deeply saddened by the horrific incident at today's Lapu Lapu Day event. Our thoughts are with all those affected and Vancouver's Filipino community during this incredibly difficult time.
I offer my deepest condolences to the loved ones of those killed and injured, to the Filipino Canadian community, and to everyone in Vancouver.
As we wait to learn more, our thoughts are with the victims and their families and Vancouver's Filipino community, who were coming together today to celebrate resilience.
