Police detained the male driver and said they did not yet know whether the crash was deliberate
A car drove into a crowd of people in western Berlin on Wednesday, killing one person and smashing through a shop window, police said, in a district of the German capital popular with tourists and shoppers.
“A man is believed to have driven into a group of people. It is not yet known whether it was an accident or a deliberate act,” police said, adding that the driver had been detained at the scene. Investigators were looking into whether the incident was a deliberate attack or possibly an accident with a medical cause, a police spokesperson said.
The incident took place next to the war-ravaged Gedaechtniskirche church, one of Berlin’s best-known landmarks.
