School Trip Turns into Nightmare: Van Hits Children in Marseille

A delivery van hit eleven people, including nine students, in Marseille, France, after a school trip. According to the mayor, four girls and four boys, aged 8 to 11, as well as two women, were slightly injured, while an 8-year-old boy was seriously injured with a possible fracture. The accident occurred when the van, parked on a sloping road, began to roll backwards uncontrollably due to a possible handbrake malfunction. The driver was tested for alcohol and drugs, and the prosecution is investigating the incident for negligent bodily harm.
