Car deliberately drove into pedestrians, killing one and injuring nine in Caen, France

A driver deliberately rammed their vehicle into a group of people in the street near the train station in Caen, northern France, authorities confirmed. The incident, which occurred late on Wednesday night, resulted in the death of one individual and injuries to nine others, local authorities reported. Caen Mayor Aristide Olivier stated to ICI Normandie that the tragedy appeared to be the consequence of "a fight that turned bad."

Initially, Calvados Prefect David Clavière indicated that a single person had lost their life, but later revised the death toll to two, with nine additional individuals sustaining injuries. The suspected driver has been apprehended, according to Clavière, who disclosed that the suspect was born in Russia. A thorough police investigation is presently underway.
