Child among several killed after car hits pedestrians in centre of German city...

A child is among at least two people killed when a car drove at high speed into pedestrians in the German city of Trier, police say.

It happened just before 2pm in a pedestrianised area of the city, around 120 miles (193km) west of Frankfurt.

The age of the child has not been released, but a police tweet described them as a toddler.

Police said more than 10 people had also been injured - with some described by the mayor as having the "most severe injuries".

The 51-year-old driver, who is from the area, has been arrested and a silver SUV seized.

The apparent attack comes on the same day Germany went into its second coronavirus lockdown.

Police said "several" people had been killed in the incident, with local media reporting four had died.

Thats Evil
a Child also killed by the Terrorist

[Ammi]

[Nicky91]

very sad news yes

RIP to the victims

[Ammi]

The victims were two women, aged 25 and 73, a 45-year-old man and a nine-month-old baby.
Footage posted on social media appeared to show the presumed driver being held by several officers next to the damaged car. Police have been questioning the suspect, who was alone, and has been identified by German media as Bernd W.
Initial indications "suggest that psychiatric problems possibly played a role", prosecutor Peter Fritzen told reporters


The driver, a 51-year-old local man, has been arrested. The prosecutor said the suspect had drunk a significant amount of alcohol.
Authorities said they were not working on the assumption that the incident was politically or religiously motivated.

...it doesn’t appear to be an act of terrorism, Arista...possibly a drunk driver as a significant amount of alcohol was in his bloods...

[Kizzy]

Yes just seen the news and it's suggesting it was someone with severe mental health issues. Still horrific saw the buggy in the news report.. I hate it when they do that.

They almoat always say that these days. It's a cop out, because they're fence sitters.

[Ammi]

...it’s now being reported that the baby girl was nine weeks old, not nine months old...her father was also killed...just all so devastating beyond any words...
