A girl has been killed and at least 11 other people have been injured after a car was intentionally driven into a pizza restaurant in a small town, east of Paris, French police said.
The girl, who has been reported as being 12-years-old, died immediately after a BMW slammed into the sidewalk cafe in Sept-Sorts. Her brother was also thought to be seriously injured.
The driver of the vehicle, who has not been named by police, has been arrested.
A judicial official said the incident has not been referred to the Paris prosecutor's office, which oversees French terrorism investigations.
The attack was a deliberate one, although officials said they did not believe there was a political or terrorist motive behind it.
"There is no doubt that he voluntarily decided to create what happened," prosecutor Eric de Valroger said at the scene of the incident.
The incident comes one week after a man drove his car into a group of French soldiers, injuring six people.

“When you sweat a lot, you lose a lot of salt and other electrolytes from your body. If your electrolytes drop enough, you will be at risk of cramping. To prevent salt deficiency, simply add an electrolyte mix to your water.”
Cornelia Gloor, head of RAK Hospital’s Rehabilitation and Physiotherapy Centre
“Don’t make the mistake of thinking you can ride as fast or as far during the summer as you do in cooler weather. The heat will make you expend more energy to maintain a speed that might normally be comfortable, so pace yourself when riding during the hotter parts of the day.”
Chandrashekar Nandi, physiotherapist at Burjeel Hospital in Dubai
