The Chinese government does not suspect terrorism after a car jumped a curb in Shanghai on Friday, injuring at least 18 people.

Authorities said a 40-year-old man was smoking while driving a minivan filled with gas canisters and lost control of the vehicle. The driver and two others were seriously injured.
