The incident took place in the Berck commune in the northern French department of Pas-de-Calais on Saturday evening, the 20 Minutes newspaper reported. A 76-year-old driver lost control of the car, allegedly mistaking an accelerator pedal for a brake pedal, the newspaper added, citing the prosecutor's office.
