(ANSA) - Rome, August 17 - A white van ploughed into crowds
on Barcelona's famed Rambla street Thursday, killing at least
two people and injuring at least at least five people, La
Vanguardia and El Mundo reported. The driver abandoned the
vehicle and fled on foot, police said. A young Italian woman,
Chiara, told ANSA: "I was in a shop, the other four people with
me were behind the van which headed for people in the pedestrian
zone. The crowd was running". After taking shelter in a shop,
Chiara said "they're not letting us out, we can hear the police
out there but we can't see anything from here. They're taking us
to the bottom floor of the shop".
