(Missed Story!) One dead as car deliberately driven into bus stops in French city of
#1
I missed this one!

It was reported on the 21st August 2017 and oddly enough, I can't truly recall it being reported in
the mainstream media.

Quote:One dead as car deliberately driven into bus stops in French city of Marseille and then speeds off.

'At least one person was killed and others seriously injured today after a car was deliberately driven
into two bus stops in the French city of Marseille.
A security operation was launched in the city’s Old Port soon afterwards and police arrested the
driver of the vehicle involved.

Officers are currently warning people to stay away from area - which is usually bustling with tourists.
"The arrested man has been identified and is known to the police," said a source close to the case.

The 35-year-old arrested man first drove his car into a packed bus shelter in the Croix-Rouge area
of Marseille just after 8am. He then sped off, as ambulances were called to deal with people who
had been injured in the attack.

An hour later, at 9am, the same car was seen driving into a stop in an area of the city known as
Valentine. It was there a pedestrian, believed to have been a woman in her 40s, was killed.

The man was then arrested in the Old Port and the area was shut off to traffic.
It follows a string of Islamic State-linked terrorist attacks across France, and other parts of Europe
including Britain and Spain, involving vehicles being driven at crowds.

The Renault Espace used in the attack was stolen in Marseille early this morning, according to reports.
After smashing the car into the second bus shelter, the driver of the Espace was seen running away
towards the Old Port, where he was soon arrested by police.

The French national arrested following the attack has convictions for theft, drugs trafficking and
carrying illegal weapons....'
