A car drives into pedestrians in the centre of Modena, a city in northern Italy, injuring at least seven to eight people, according to multiple reports. Police and local officials say the crash happens on a main street in the city centre around mid-afternoon on Saturday, with the vehicle reportedly mounting the sidewalk and striking people near shops. Several injured are described as seriously hurt, with accounts stating four are in critical condition, while others report two seriously injured. Passers-by intervene after the incident, with some reports describing people chasing and stopping the driver. One report says the driver allegedly stabs a passer-by who tries to intervene, while other outlets focus on the driver being detained and questioned. Italian police arrest the driver, who is described as a man in his thirties and an Italian national of North African origin, born in Bergamo and living in the Modena area. Authorities investigate whether the driver acted deliberately and whether he was under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Italy’s Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni calls the incident “extremely serious” and thanks those who intervened.
