Two Killed, Several Injured After Car Slams into Crowd in Germany
At least two people were killed and several others injured Tuesday when an SUV plowed into pedestrians in the southwestern German city of Trier, according to reports.
The 51-year-old driver from the area was arrested and the vehicle was impounded after it slammed into the crowd in the pedestrian zone in the city, located about 120 miles west of Frankfurt, police said.
“It all happened very quickly. He could not escape and was detained by police,” police spokesman Karl-Peter Jochem said, adding that the suspect drove for about a half-mile before being stopped, according to Agence France-Presse.
Mayor Wolfram Leibe told the SWR broadcaster that the driver had gone on “a rampage,” saying that in addition to the two fatalities, 15 people had suffered serious injuries.
