A holiday gathering in the coastal town of Sainte-Anne turned tragic Friday evening when a vehicle barreled into residents preparing for Christmas festivities, killing at least 10 people and injuring 19 more in the French Caribbean overseas region.
The collision occurred at Schoelcher Square, directly opposite the town hall and local church, where families and volunteers were assembling for upcoming celebrations, according to reports. Firefighters, paramedics, and police converged rapidly on the scene, treating the wounded and cordoning off the area. Sainte-Anne’s mayor arrived shortly after the incident and activated a municipal crisis unit to coordinate victim support and crisis response.

Among the injured, three individuals remain in serious condition, according to local media outlet Radio Caraïbes Internationale Guadeloupe. Investigators are now working to establish how the tragedy unfolded. Witnesses interviewed by the station suggested the driver may have suffered a sudden medical event while operating the vehicle, a possibility that authorities are assessing but have not yet confirmed. The driver reportedly did not flee and stayed at the scene.
The calamity has cast a profound pall over the community, interrupting the island’s normally spirited preparations for the holiday season and prompting expressions of grief across Guadeloupe.
Friday’s disaster recalls a similar episode in Magdeburg, Germany, last December, when a driver accelerated into a crowded Christmas market just days before the holiday. That attack killed at least two people and injured more than 60 others. German authorities arrested the driver, identified as a 50-year-old Saudi doctor who had lived in the country since 2006.

Let me guess ... his name is Mohammed (any spelling) and he’s foreign born. Am I right?
Nothing to see here, please move along. The protests are mainly peaceful, there is no war on Christmas, and this room is merely for you to take a shower.
What a mystery this is.
Time to get loaded up for Ramadan.....
The medical even was jihad syndrome.
Most likely.
It was just a common ordinary accident. Nothing to be concerned about.
Are police struggling to determine a motive?
There are other reports that nobody was killed but 19 were injured. Driver was on drugs and alcohol.
I don’t know how many Muhammed end are on Guadalupe but one is too many
Let’s ask the pope...
I have been saying for 20+ years, that guns, planes or bombs is NOT necessary to kill a lot of people, a car is all that is needed.
Please post a link. Let's hope there were no deaths.
Oh, how the Devil and his followers hate the Christ Child’s birthday. As we re-celebrate Christ’s birth at this time of the year, the Islamist warriors of Allah lash out to kill and maim us. We cannot tolerate this pure evil if we wish to live in a civilized world.
They must have opened up an Aloha Snackbar at the market.
We are in danger, and cannot let the uninformed ‘thoughtful’ allow our loved ones and ourselves to have our way of life and our freedom attacked and destroyed. The times are dire, and too many are oblivious - clinging to their normalcy bias
Islamic cancer has only one cure.
The Crusaders figured that out.
No, but they're darned useful when you need to take out "Islamikaze" terrorists.
The car did it! The car did it! /sarc
