Summary

A drunkard riding a tractor killed 17 people and injured many in a rampage in northern China. Driver Li Xianliang, 38, was arrested after running amok for an hour around a coal depot in Hebei province on Sunday. The driver ploughed into pedestrians, cars and shops as he drove away from the depot before coming to a stop in a field where he was arrested. The incident began with an argument between Mr Li and a customer. Mr Li killed the man at the Hongyuan coal depot and then set off down the street on a powerful tractor with a shovel on the front, officials said in a statement.
