A car plowed into pedestrians on Cours Jean-Jaurès in Grenoble, France
[PUBLISH.TWITTER]

MSN tells the tale in more detail:
A shocking incident has left four people, including two teenagers, hospitalised after a car ploughed into them following the celebration of Paris Saint-Germain's victory in the Champions League.

The horrifying event unfolded on Saturday, May 31, on Cours Jean-Jaurés in Grenoble, France, when a BMW 1 Series driver, speeding along the central tramway tracks towards Echirolles, attempted a handbrake U-turn at the intersection of Avenue Alsace-Lorraine.
Idiot.
In the process, he struck down four pedestrians:
Unexpectedly.
two lads aged 17 and two women, aged 23 and 46, all from the same family. The driver reportedly abandoned his motor and fled the scene, fearing retaliation from the crowd.

However, he handed himself over to the police a few minutes later and was promptly taken into custody. Two women and one of the teenagers sustained critical injuries, while the other teenager is believed to be less severely hurt.

Approximately 30 firefighters and a team from the emergency medical services (SAMU 38) were dispatched to the scene to assist the victims, reports the Mirror. All were treated and transported to the Grenoble Alpes University Hospital for further care.

"A vehicle apparently lost control, hitting four people, two of whom were seriously injured," Grenoble officials told the AfP agency.

Shocking videos of the aftermath showed large crowds of people standing around in horror as the four family members lay stricken on the ground. Others showed panicked PSG supporters running in terror from the incident.

Grenoble police officers faced hostility from groups throwing stones and bottles at them during their intervention. The police had to retaliate with tear gas grenades to push them back.
This early report says nothing about whether the driver is a jihadi or merely a dangerous idiot, but the hostile crowd thingy is very much a mark of Moslem colonists in French “suburb” enclaves. I know nothing about the Cours Jean-Jaurès area in Grenoble, but that’s my guess. Car-b-ques next?
Meanwhile, across France, football supporters have caused chaos for law enforcement, with around 300 arrests in Paris alone as celebrations turned to riots. Scores of vehicles were burned across the capital while crowds through objects and fireworks at police.

Interesting background from the Times of Israel at 9:20 a.m. EDT:
PSG soccer fans unfurl banner urging end to ‘genocide in Gaza’ at Champions League final

Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) supporters displayed a banner saying “Stop genocide in Gaza” during the soccer Champions League final on Saturday.

They raised it shortly after Achraf Hakimi opened the scoring in a 5-0 rout of his former side Inter Milan. Some PSG fans also held Palestinian scarves and flags during the game.

PSG fans are known for their anti-Israel stance regarding the war in Gaza. They previously displayed a giant banner saying “Free Palestine” in November during the Champions League match against Atlético Madrid.

The latest banner was likely to lead to disquiet among local German authorities in Munich. Munich’s city hall displays an Israeli flag as well as a Ukrainian one, and German support for Israel is strong for historical reasons.

PSG could also face a fine. UEFA bans the use of gestures, words, objects or any other means to transmit a provocative message that is judged not fit for a sports event, particularly provocative messages that are of a political, ideological, religious or offensive nature.

Financial penalties are typical for a first offense, usually 10,000 euros ($10,700) for a political banner or disturbances.
