THE HAGUE: A van slammed into pedestrians near a Dutch campsite at a huge music festival early Monday, killing one person and seriously injuring three others just hours after headline act Bruno Mars wowed tens of thousands of fans. The four people were hit around 4:00 am (0200 GMT) Monday by the van which then fled the scene, only hours after the end of the three-day Pinkpop Festival in the southern town of Landgraaf, near the German border. A 34-year-old man from Heerlen later gave himself up, phoning the police to say he was the driver and was arrested in Amsterdam, police told reporters, adding the white van had also been found.
