by

A car hit pedestrians on Wednesday morning in central Berlin, killing one person and injuring eight others, firefighters told AFP. The hit-and-run was near the Emperor Guilherme Memorial Church, CNN claims. A crowd was there.

The vehicle crashed into a window in a business district near the Zoo station and the driver was arrested, according to a police spokesman who could not specify whether it was a deliberate act or a loss of control of the car.

In 2016, a truck hit a crowded Christmas market in central Berlin and left people dead and injured. The Islamic State terrorist organization claimed responsibility for the attack.
