Rouen, France: A man intentionally ploughed his car into a crowd in northern France after an altercation early Saturday, killing one person and injuring five others, two of them critically, prosecutors told AFP.
The incident took place in the town of Evreux in the northern French region of Normandy at around 4:00 am Saturday (0200 GMT).
An investigation has been opened into homicide and attempted homicide, according to the prosecutors, who ruled out any "terrorist" or racist motives.
"Unfortunately, the toll is very heavy," Evreux public prosecutor Remi Coutin said.
One man died at the scene, he added.
