A two-year-old girl in southern China, who was run over by two vans and ignored by 18 passers-by, has died, hospital officials say. Surveillance camera footage showed people walking past the girl as she lay bleeding and unconscious.
Wang Yue was knocked down by a van while wandering through a market, where her parents run a shop. The driver sped off without checking on the girl's condition.

A spokesman for the hospital told the AFP news agency that Wang Yue had died of "systemic organ failure",
