THE HAGUE: One person was killed and three others injured after a van slammed into pedestrians near a campsite at a major music festival in the Netherlands on Monday.

The driver fled following the incident at about 4:00 am (0200 GMT) by the Pinkpop Festival in the southern town of Landgraaf, near the German border.

"The van involved is still being sought," police said on Twitter.

Police have cordoned off the section of the road while an investigation is underway.
