A shocking incident has unfolded in the 50,000-inhabitant city of Évreux, Normandy, France. According to reports from Mayor Guy Lefrand and local newspaper "Le Parisien", a nighttime altercation at a wine bar resulted in a tragic outcome.

The incident, which occurred around 4 a.m., began inside the bar and spilled out onto the street, where approximately 100 drunk individuals were standing. The crowd was reportedly cleared out by the bar's owner prior to the incident, but the chaos that ensued left one man dead and five others injured.

The fatal incident involved a car being driven into the crowd multiple times at high speed. Two individuals, including the driver, were arrested and are currently being investigated for manslaughter and attempted manslaughter.
