Running a red light at a crossroad in downtown Nanjing around 3 am, the car crashed into a light truck and tumbled several times. The two passengers were thrown out of the car and killed on the spot, and the driver was also found dead in the front seat, according to local traffic police.
A pedestrian, who had just stepped out of a taxi, was hit by the runaway car and killed in the accident.
