Gemini-Create/iStock/ThinkStock(PARIS) — Police in Paris say they’re searching for a vehicle that hit a cab and ran into barriers set up near the Tour de France finish line on Sunday morning.
There was a simple accident between two cars and one of the cars tried to get away. The car tried to force its way through a police road block that was set up because of Sunday’s final stage of the Tour de France.
A policeman at the scene then fired a couple of shots toward the car, but the car managed to get away.
Authorities are currently looking for the driver of the car and not much is known about why this incident occurred.
A statement by the Paris police spokesperson said that although this happened near where the Tour de France was going to happen, there was nothing to indicate that it was linked to terrorism.
Authorities speculate that it was a minor road accident where the person was trying to escape from police.
