Chinese authorities remove tributes and flowers from memorial in Zhuhai after deadly attack.

Authorities say 62-year-old driver rammed his vehicle into a sports complex on Monday killing 35 people and injuring 43 .

Chinese authorities have offered little information about the driver, who was arrested as he fled the scene and identified only by his surname Fan, was upset about his divorce settlement.

Footage showing bodies lying on the pavement appeared on social media in hours after the crash but had soon vanished.

Most were posted by "Teacher Li", an artist-turned-dissident whose X account has 1.7 million followers.

China has a long history of clamping down on the spread of information, sometimes leading to costly delays in response.

Authorities in 2008 worked to stifle news of contaminated milk that poisoned 300,000 children.
