THOUSANDS of people have gone on the rampage in a southeastern Chinese city after a traffic accident, smashing police cars and overturning three police vans.
One resident said people became angry because police and paramedics took nearly an hour to arrive after the accident. A Hong Kong-based human rights group said it was to do with corruption.
Residents said police were stopping cars and checking people for drink driving when the accident happened on a main road in Fuan.
The accident happened when a car sped away from the check point, smashing into three motorcycles and injuring five people.
Onlookers became angry because police officers and paramedics took nearly one hour to arrive, said a witness, who estimated 1000 to 2000 people clashed with police and overturned three police vans.
Photos carried by online southeastern news sites show hundreds of people swarming across a wide street with two vans thrown onto their sides. In one photo, three people are standing on top of an overturned van.
The official Fuan police microblog said on Sunday a sedan had collided with a car and three motorcycles, leaving five people injured.
"The accident made a small number of local people dissatisfied," said the statement.
Later on Sunday, the propaganda department of Fuan's Communist Party put out a statement countering accusations police and paramedics had been slow to respond.
It said police had immediately called paramedics and traffic police and a patrol car drove to a hospital to pick up three doctors. The five injured were taken to hospital 40 minutes after the accident happened, it said.
"As the rescue work was going on, some relatives of the injured people and onlookers got out of control," said the statement. "They started to push and shove the doctors and knock the ambulance and so the ambulance left the scene under police escort."
It said "a handful of lawless people misled some people who didn't know the truth" and they began targeting police vehicles.
