PARIS (AP) — A driver deliberately rammed their car into a group
of people in northern France, killing two people and injuring
nine others, authorities said.
The incident late Wednesday night in Caen isn't being treated by
officials as a terrorist attack. Caen Mayor Aristide Olivier
told local radio ICI Normandie that it seemed to be the result
of “a fight that turned bad.”
The top regional official, Calvados Prefect David Clavière,
initially said overnight that one person was killed. His office
on Thursday revised the death toll upward to two and said nine
other people were injured.
The suspected driver has been arrested, according to Clavière,
who said the man was born in Russia. A police investigation is
underway.
“A car deliberately drove into pedestrians who were in the
street opposite the train station,” Clavière said.
