One of the pedestrians, a 40-year-old British man, was believed to be in a critical condition.
The Foreign Office said three of the five had been discharged from a hospital in Rennes. They were all from Jersey, it was reported.
A spokeswoman said: "Five British nationals were involved in a traffic accident in Rennes. Next of kin have been informed.
"Three have been discharged and two are still in hospital."
Two French nationals were also said to be hurt in the crash. It was not immediately known whether French police had made an arrest in connection with the incident.
