AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - A 34-year-old Dutchman who on Monday drove his delivery van into a group of concert-goers, killing one and critically injuring three others, had no terrorist motive, prosecutors said on Tuesday.

The van driver turned himself in on Monday, hours after he hit the visitors to the Pinkpop music festival in the south of the Netherlands.
