Teeanger dies in France during World Cup win celebrations

A French teenager has died in an accident during celebrations of the national football team's quarter-final victory over Morocco at the World Cup, radio Europe 1 said on Friday.

The report said that the 17-year-old girl climbed onto a tractor unit, fell and was then run over, the report said, citing emergency services.

The truck driver was arrested and another youth, who had witnesses the scene, taken to hospital in a state of shock, Europe 1 said.

France beat Morocco 2-0 in Foxborough on Thursday night and France had beefed up security in the country and especially in Paris.

But French media said on Friday that it was mostly peaceful afterwards, even though there was a potential for trouble because more than 2 million Moroccans and people of Moroccan descent live in the country.

Broadcasters RMC Sport said that 10 people were arrested in the Paris metropolitan area for various offences.
