A car (a dark BMW) crashed into a crowd of people at a Christmas market in Magdeburg, Germany, causing two deaths (according to the prime minister of the state of Sannonia-Anhalt, it is an adult and a child) and dozens injured. This was reported by the mayor of Magdeburg. The German broadcaster NTV speaks of 15 seriously injured, 37 in less serious conditions and 16 slightly injured. The city is located about two hours’ drive west of Berlin.
The police arrested the driver of the car that crashed into the market. Local authorities suspect that the car accident at the German Christmas market in Magdeburg was a terrorist attack, as the Dpa agency writes in its X account.
