Fake News Story Targets Kamala Harris with Baseless Hit-and-Run Claim

A fabricated article from a non-existent news site falsely accuses the Democratic nominee of a 2011 incident, spreading widely on social media.

The story alleges Kamala Harris was involved in a 2011 hit-and-run, leaving a 13-year-old girl paralyzed.
BBC Verify and other fact-checkers found the website and its content to be fake, with no evidence supporting the claims.
Images and X-rays used in the story were traced back to unrelated incidents and medical journals.
Experts suggest the video in the article is a 'cheap fake,' not generated by advanced AI tools.
The fake news site shares similarities with other disinformation networks linked to pro-Kremlin operations.
