Celebrations in France after its World Cup victory over Morocco were marred by tragedy on Wednesday night after a 14-year-old boy was run over and killed in Montpellier.
A film of the incident showed a white hatchback stuck in traffic surrounded by marauding fans. The driver had a flag stuck to his back window, which the crowd tried to rip away. The driver then performed a quick U-turn.
Several members of the crowd could not react in time and the teenager was dragged under the wheels, sustaining critical injuries.
He was rushed to a nearby hospital but died of his injuries shortly afterwards. Police swiftly found the vehicle, which had been abandoned, and are searching for the driver.
