Tragedy puts spotlight on the elderly

China Daily | Updated: 2017-07-13 07:15

ON SATURDAY, a taxi drove into a group of people who were jogging in a vehicle lane in Linyi, East China's Shandong province, leaving one jogger dead and two others injured. Beijing News comments:

Many netizens have blamed the joggers for the tragedy, saying vehicle lanes are not meant for jogging. Some have even used offensive expressions to criticize the joggers, even though most of them were senior citizens.

True, the joggers violated traffic regulations, but that does not justify the use of invectives against them. Besides, the joggers alone are not to blame for the incident.
