The Lapu-Lapu Day festival, celebrating Filipino heritage, was in full swing when a black Audi Q7 SUV, driven by 30-year-old Kai-Ji Adam Lo, accelerated into the crowd on East 43rd Avenue near Fraser Street around 8:14 p.m. PDT. Witnesses described scenes of chaos as the vehicle struck attendees, sending bodies flying and causing widespread panic. Eleven people, ranging in age from 5 to 65, lost their lives, and over 30 others sustained injuries, some critically.
