France says Marseille car crash not terror

Marseille’s prosecutor Xavier Tarabeux says that investigators probing an incident in which a van plowed into people at two different bus stops in the French city have no “element pointing to a terrorist attack” and that the driver was believed to suffer from “psychiatric” problems.

“He was found with a letter from a psychiatric clinic and we are leaning towards treating it as a mental health case,” Tarabeux tells AFP.
