According to police in the southern Spanish city of Marbella, a car rammed into a pedestrian area filled with outdoor cafés and restaurants, injuring several people, some of them seriously.

According to AP, a police spokeswoman said officers had arrested the car’s driver and were investigating the incident. The spokeswoman could not be named in media reports because she was not authorised to do so.

According to police reports, five people have been taken to the Costa del Sol Hospital, one of whom has serious injuries.

Online videos from the scene of the crash, on one of the city’s main thoroughfares, showed ambulances and police officers, as waiters cleaned up or assisted people on the ground.

The incident occurred in the mid-afternoon, when the area was bustling with customers eating lunch.

While studying economics, Brendan found himself comfortably falling down the rabbit hole of restaurant work, ultimately opening a consulting business and working as a private wine buyer. On a whim, he moved to China, and in his first week following a triumphant pub quiz victory, he found himself bleeding on the floor based on his arrogance. The same man who put him there offered him a job lecturing for the University of Wales in various sister universities throughout the Middle Kingdom. While primarily lecturing in descriptive and comparative statistics, Brendan simultaneously earned an Msc in Banking and International Finance from the University of Wales-Bangor. He's presently doing something he hates, respecting French people. Well, two, his wife and her mother in the lovely town of Antigua, Guatemala.
