MODENA (ANP) De man die zaterdag meerdere mensen verwondde door met hoge snelheid in het stadscentrum van de Italiaanse stad Modena op voetgangers in te rijden, is aangeklaagd voor doodslag en zware mishandeling, maar niet voor terrorisme. Dat melden lokale media. Acht voetgangers raakten gewond, van wie vier ernstig. Een vrouw verloor beide benen. De automobilist is een 31-jarige Italiaan van buitenlandse afkomst.
