Car blamed in PLA fender-bender

The Chinese military on Thursday gave details of an accident involving a motorcade of armored vehicles, dismissing some internet users' accusations against the People's Liberation Army.

According to China National Defense, a newspaper affiliated with PLA Daily, the accident took place on July 6 in front of a residential compound in an unidentified city. A column of PLA armored vehicles on the way to an emergency response exercise encountered an impatient driver who tried to drive her Jeep between the military vehicles.

The PLA vehicle's operator braked up but it still hit the Jeep, the newspaper said. No one was injured.
