                 Deadly Car Crash at Beijing's Tiananmen Square

   Chinese police say five people were killed and many hurt when a sports
   utility vehicle crashed into a crowd at Beijing`s Tiananmen Square and
   burst into flames.
   China`s official Xinhua news agencyr says at least 38 people were
   injured when the vehicle veered into a large crowd at Tiananmen Gate.
   Police evacuated the area immediately after the crash, and closed the
   area as emergency personnel responded to the scene.
   Barriers were erected to block onlookers` and photographers` views of
   the crash scene.
   Tiananmen Square is the scene of the 1989 student-led pro-democracy
   protest that ended in a bloody crackdown by Chinese authorities. It is
   surrounded by the Great Hall of the People, the seat of China`s
   parliament, and the mausoleum that holds the remains of Mao Zedong, the
   founder of Communist China.
