A police commander in rural China has been arrested after being involved in a traffic accident that killed 5 people this weekend, authorities said.
Wang Yinpeng was behind the wheel of a van that hit two street lights in Zhengzhou, a town in the Henan province county of Runan, causing the heavy poles to crash down on passengers waiting at a bus stop.
3 other people were injured in the mishap, which China's Xinhua news agency sparked a surge of outrage on social media sites. County officials told Xinhua that Wang was suspected of driving drunk and could face the death penalty if convicted.
