Overview
- At about 4 a.m., an altercation inside the La Winery wine bar prompted security to clear roughly 100 people onto the street in central Évreux.
- Prosecutor Rémi Coutin said a person then retrieved a vehicle and deliberately reversed at high speed into the crowd outside the venue.
- One man died at the scene and five others were hospitalized at the CHU d'Évreux, with two listed in critical condition.
- Three people—at least two occupants of the vehicle and a third person outside, two men and a woman—were placed in custody as a flagrante‑delict investigation for homicide and attempted homicide proceeds.
- Authorities report no evidence of a terrorist or racist motive, and a police source said the car may have struck multiple times before fleeing, with responders later securing Avenue Winston Churchill.
