BERLIN (AP) — A vehicle slammed into a group of pedestrians in
the southwestern German city of Stuttgart on Friday, killing one
person and injuring several others in what police said appeared
to be an accident.
The driver was detained, but Stuttgart police said on X that
there was “currently no evidence of an attack or a deliberate
act” and that all the information so far indicates it was a
“tragic traffic accident.”
The incident happened at an above-ground subway stop in downtown
Stuttgart, police said.
“Five people were slightly injured and three seriously injured
in the accident. Of the seriously injured, a 46-year-old woman
has since succumbed to her injuries in the hospital,” police
said in a Friday evening statement, hours after the accident.
An investigation was under way, and the area was cordoned off as
emergency responders, police and forensic specialists examined
the scene. Witnesses were being interviewed, and subway service
through the area was suspended.
Photos from the scene showed plastic gloves, blankets and bags
scattered on the ground near the SUV.
