France’s 2-0 quarter-final victory over Morocco at the FIFA World Cup was overshadowed by tragedy and violence as celebrations turned deadly in France and descended into chaos on the streets of London.

A 17-year-old girl died in northern France after falling from a truck during post-match celebrations, while British police clashed with football fans in central London, leaving one officer hospitalised.

The teenager was on a truck at Aulnoye-Aymeries, near the northern city of Maubeuge, when she fell and was run over by the vehicle. She was declared dead at the scene, according to emergency services.

The driver of the truck has been detained, while another teenager who witnessed the fall was taken to hospital suffering from shock, authorities said.

The tragedy came as hundreds of people danced in the streets of Paris following France’s victory, watched by thousands of police on security duties.

In London, British police battled football fans in central London early Friday morning. One police officer was injured and four people were arrested following what police described as “violent disorder”.

Images shared on social media showed dozens of people stood in Edgware Road, near Hyde Park, throwing bottles and other objects at police.

Police said the trouble started after people blocked traffic in the road.

“The incident then escalated with the group throwing bottles and setting off fireworks,” a spokesman said. “One officer was taken to hospital for head injuries. It is believed he had been hit by a glass bottle.”

Last week two people died during mass celebrations in Mexico City after the national football team beat Equador in their World Cup clash.

On the pitch, Kylian Mbappe and Ousmane Dembele scored second-half goals at Gillette Stadium outside Boston to send France into the semi-finals.

France will now face either Spain or Belgium in the last four, with that quarter-final match scheduled to take place on Friday.
