PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) — A Haitian government car has gone out of control into a group of people, killing at least six and further inflaming unrest in a capital wracked by violent protests.

Police spokesman Michel-Ange Louis-Jeune said one of the car's wheels had come off Wednesday. Protesters later set fire to the car.

Louis-Jeune said he didn't know how many people died, but an Associated Press journalist on the scene counted six bodies.

The deaths come as Haiti faces a fourth day of protests to demand that President Jovenel Moise resign for not investigating allegations of corruption in the previous government over a Venezuelan subsidized energy program.

At least eight people have died in the protests, not including those hit by the car.
