A car traveling at high speed struck about ten pedestrians in the center of Modena. Several people were injured, some in very serious condition. The circumstances surrounding the incident on Via Emilia are still unclear, but emergency services and law enforcement responded immediately.

The car, a Citroen C3 coming from Largo Garibaldi, crashed into the window of a shop in Largo Porta Bologna. According to local press reports, the driver, who was also injured, fled on foot and, while fleeing, stabbed a person who had lunged at him to stop him. The man was apprehended shortly thereafter.

The area, which was very busy on Saturday afternoon, was cordoned off with red and white tape. Several ambulances were assisting the injured in the street. Carabinieri, Guardia di Finanza, and police were also on site to manage the situation.
