Eleven people were injured, four seriously, after a car plowed into a crowd at an international kite-flying festival in northern France on Saturday, officials said.
The accident was caused by a disabled 76-year-old driver who "confused the accelerator and brake pedals," a statement from the local prosecutor's office said.
Four women, including two pensioners aged 75 and 82, are being treated for life-threatening head injuries in intensive care, the emergency services and local officials said.
