This is the moment a man in China crashes his car into his wife and his mother-in-law after a family argument.

The incident took place in the city of Ji’an, which is located in Jiangxi, which is a province in south-eastern China, on the evening of 3rd January.

The footage shows people walking when a car suddenly lunges forwards and hits two of them, sending them flying as the car takes off and disappears off screen while the people end up lying on the street as the footage ends. A third person can be seen narrowly avoiding the vehicle, but they also fall to the ground.

A second piece of footage shows the aftermath of the incident, with numerous passersby having gathered around the injured people.

Local police have said that the woman and her mother were taken to a hospital for treatment and that the case is being investigated. The make and model of the vehicle that hit the pair is not known.

An anonymous member of staff at a business in the area told local media: “it was about 1 o’clock in the afternoon. It is said that a man drove into his wife and mother-in-law in a crash.”

The man’s identity has not been revealed, but the authorities said that he was born in the 1980s. The names of the other people involved in the incident have not been released either.

The police have declined to reveal further information surrounding the incident, including details regarding what caused it, for the time being.
