MARSEILLE, France - At least one person was killed and another injured in Marseille on Monday when a van crashed into two bus shelters in different parts of the French city, police said, in an incident not being treated as terrorism at this stage.
Police advised the public to avoid the Old Port area where the driver, a 35-year-old man, was arrested.
A source close to the investigation told Reuters the suspect was known to police for minor crimes and had psychological issues. France’s counter-terrorism prosecutor said it had not taken up the case at this stage.
