Eleven people were killed when a “lone suspect” ploughed his SUV into a crowd at a street festival in Vancouver.

Bodies were left scattered on the street after the black car was driven down a road between market stalls and street food vans.

Vancouver Police Department announced on Sunday night that they had charged 30-year-old local man Kai-Ji Adam Lo with eight counts of second degree murder.

“The charge assessment is ongoing and further charges are anticipated,” police said in a statement. 

The incident, which took place on Fraser Street and 41st Avenue, happened shortly after 8pm local time on Saturday evening (4am UK time on Sunday) as crowds celebrated Lapu-Lapu Day, a traditional Filipino event.
