One dies as car crashes into a bus shelter

One woman has been killed and another injured after a van crashed into two bus shelters in the French city of Marseille.

Police advised the public to avoid the Old Port area where the driver of the Renault Master, a 35-year-old man, was arrested.

The driver first hit a bus shelter around 8:15am in the 13th arrondissement in the poorer northern part of France's second-largest city, before hitting a second bus shelter an hour later in the 11th arrondissement, several miles south.

Media reports say the driver was known to police for minor crimes and has psychological issues. The prosecutor for Marseille said later Monday that the driver had a letter on him that mentioned a psychiatric clinic, so they were following that lead. He said it was not believed to have been a terrorist attack, like the vehicle attacks that left 14 people dead in Spain last week.
