Three children are among 17 people injured after a car drove into a crowd of people in northwestern Poland.
Two are in a critical condition after the incident in the centre of the seaport city of Szczecin, while a 33-year-old man who fled the scene has been apprehended, the website Poland-24 reported.
“We have an incident here with currently 17 people injured, including three minors and two in critical condition. The person who caused the accident has been detained,” provincial governor Adam Rudawski was quoted as saying by Agence France-Presse.
The driver fled the scene at Rodla Square in the seaport’s city centre, before crashing into another vehicle several streets away and fleeing once again, firefighter Tomasz Kubiak told Polish national broadcaster TVP, which carried footage showing emergency vehicles at the scene.
