The boy, 14, was part of a large group of what appeared to be Moroccan supporters marauding down Rue de la Mosson in the southern French city of Montpellier when they happened upon a white hatchback with a French flag flying out of its window. The group descended on the car, attempting to rip the flag away from its owner, when the driver panicked and performed a hasty U-turn to cross into the oncoming lane and make a quick getaway.

Authorities confirmed he was transferred to a nearby hospital but later died.
