A car has crashed into a pizzeria in a village east of the French capital Paris, killing a girl and injuring 12 other people, four of them seriously.

The driver of the BMW was arrested after the vehicle hit the terrace of the cafe in Sept-Sorts, near La Ferté-sous-Jouarre, French media say.

A spokesman for the interior ministry spokesman told the BBC the driver was 32 and French.

The spokesman was in no doubt the man's actions were deliberate.

He had, the spokesman said, tried to kill himself a few days ago. It appears he had no previous criminal record.

According to RTL radio, he told police had weapons in the car.

First reports gave the age of the dead girl as eight but later she was said to have been 13.

France and a number of other countries have seen deadly vehicle attacks on civilians, notably in the French city of Nice on Bastille Day 2016 when 84 people were killed.

Last week, a man rammed a group of soldiers in Paris, injuring six of them, before being shot and injured by police as he tried to escape on a motorway.
