Censors in China have banned internet users from searching the word Ferrari to suppress rumours the son of a senior party official was killed in high-speed car crash.

Two female passengers were also seriously injured in the high-speed crash - even though the Ferrari is strictly a two-person vehicle.
The Beijing Public Security Bureau refused to give local media any information about the crash prompting the rumours. Full story...
