“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, according to Reuters.
The crash was reported around 10:26 a.m. local time when the man drove his car onto a sidewalk and into a crowd in a busy shopping district near the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church, according to police reports. The driver weaved from on top of the sidewalk, into the crowd, back onto the street, and then back onto the sidewalk before crashing into the front of a store, witnesses said.
The car stopped moving once it crashed into the store, according to photographs taken at the scene.
Police worked to block off the scene as firefighters and first responders arrived. A medevac helicopter was also seen taking off from the area.
