Marseille crash: one dead after car driven into bus shelters

Source: The Guardian

One person has died and another injured after a van was driven into two bus shelters in Marseille.

French officials said the van’s driver, arrested after the crashes, is being treated for psychological problems. The incident is not being treating as terror-related.

Police said the vehicle mounted the pavement in the 13th arrondissement in the north of the city at about 8.15am on Monday, hitting and injuring a 29-year-old person.

About 45 minutes later, the same vehicle crashed into a second bus shelter in the 11th arrondissement, about six miles away, killing a 42-year-old woman who was waiting for the bus in front of a fast-food restaurant.
