Swiss police say a car hit a group of people standing outside a Zurich bar, killing at least one person and injuring five others, The Associated Press said.

Zurich city police spokeswoman Judith Hoedl said that the exact circumstances of the incident early Friday, Feb 10, aren't yet known.

Swiss media are reporting that the driver appeared to have intentionally steered his vehicle into the group after a verbal altercation with the bar owner.
