There was glass, dust ... it was as if there had been a blast," Diomande told Reuters.One person was killed, three were seriously hurt and another 17 injured in the accident in the 13th arrondissement of the capital on a street lined with bars, restaurants and shops.
CCTV video footage from inside the nearby Sarawan restaurant showed a black car racing down Avenue d'Ivry at high speed, followed by a loud crash a couple of seconds later.
