Victim details have not yet been released.

Despite online speculation, authorities were quick to rule out any link to terrorism, saying it was not a hit-and-run incident.

It is not known what caused the vehicle to spin out of control, however it is due to undergo an extensive examination in order to determine whether any kind of mechanical failure was at fault.
