Vancouver Street Festival Takes a Dark Turn After Car Crashes Into Crowd

Buy Me A Coffee

Well, what was supposed to be a joyful street party honoring a Filipino hero turned into an absolute nightmare when a rogue car decided it wanted to join the festivities โ€” in the worst way possible.

On Saturday night around 8 PM, in what can only be described as literally the worst case of โ€œwrong place, wrong timeโ€, a car yeeted itself into a crowd of people at a festival in Vancouver. Tragically, nine people lost their lives and several others were injured. Truly heartbreaking stuff.

Police said a 30-year-old driver was scooped up at the scene and taken into custody faster than you can say “Sir, thatโ€™s illegal.” The good (and by good, we mean less horrifying) news: cops confirmed this wasnโ€™t an act of terrorism โ€” just an act of supreme stupidity, recklessness, or who-knows-what-else.

The festival was supposed to be a celebration of Lapu-Lapu Day โ€” a tribute to the Filipino hero who famously said, “No thanks” to colonization way back in 1521. The event was all about good vibes, amazing food, cultural pride, and, you know, not dodging cars like real-life Frogger.

Social media quickly filled up with devastating videos from the scene โ€” showing emergency crews rushing in to help like the absolute legends they are.

Canada’s Prime Minister Mark Carney (who, side note, always sounds like he should be narrating a nature documentary) chimed in with a heartfelt message, saying he was “devastated” by the tragedy. He offered his condolences to the families of the victims, the Filipino Canadian community, and everyone in Vancouver, adding, “Weโ€™re all mourning with you.” He also threw in a major shoutout to the first responders, because letโ€™s be real: those heroes deserve a standing ovation.
