At least 19 people, including 10 fatalities, were injured on Friday (local time) when someone crashed a car into a crowd in Sainte-Anne, in the French overseas province of Guadeloupe, during Christmas festival preparations.
Three casualties are reportedly in critical condition, according to a report by Radio Caraïbes Internationale Guadeloupe. The church and town hall were across from Schoelcher Square, where the tragedy took place.
The accident's cause is still unknown, and an investigation is being conducted. The driver may have experienced a medical episode while operating a vehicle, according to witnesses at the site cited in the RCI report. The theory has not yet been verified. According to reports, the driver stayed at the site.

Germany's Christmas car attack
Days before the holiday, a car crashed into a crowded outdoor Christmas market in the eastern German city of Magdeburg last year, killing at least two people and wounding at least 68 more.
According to the German news agency dpa, which cited unnamed Saxony-Anhalt state officials, the driver of the vehicle was taken into custody.
The suspect, according to Tamara Zieschang, the interior minister of Saxony-Anhalt, is a 50-year-old Saudi physician who arrived in Germany in 2006.
According to government officials and the local government's website, there were at least two fatalities and 68 injuries, including 15 very critical injuries. It stated that 16 people got minor injuries and 37 had medium-severity injuries.

Michael Reif, a city spokeswoman, stated, "The pictures are terrible." "I have information that a car entered the Christmas market, but I'm not sure how far or from which direction it came."
