Car hits Paris cafe terrace, three seriously hurt: Officials affirm

A motorist ploughed a vehicle into a cafe terrace in Olympic host city Paris on Wednesday evening, leaving three people seriously injured, officials told AFP, without indicating a possible motive.

A police source who asked not to be named said the driver fled the scene in northern Paris while a passenger from the vehicle was detained. A separate source close to the enquiry said the passenger tested positive for drug and alcohol consumption.
