RENNES (France), Sept 7 — A car accidentally killed a woman and injured several other people when it hit pedestrians in the coastal town of Pirou, northern France, officials said yesterday.
Emergency services were treating six people — four pedestrians and two people in the car — officials in the La Manche region added.
Local media reports said the car ran into the terrace of a pizzeria.
A local prosecutor, Gauthier Poupeau, said that initial findings indicated that the driver of the car “passed out”.
“One woman has died and three other people are in a very serious condition,” he added.
“The theory that this was a voluntary act has been formally ruled out.” — AFP
