Trier car-ramming apparently was ‘on purpose,’ officials say, as 4, including child, confirmed dead

Police have confirmed four deaths in Trier, Germany after a car plowed into a pedestrian area. While the driver’s actions appear to have been intentional, the public prosecutor says there are no indications of an Islamist motive.

The driver, said by police to be a 51-year-old resident of the Trier-Saarburg area, drove a dark grey Range Rover through a pedestrian area of the city on Tuesday, sending victims “flying into the air,” according to witnesses. He was arrested on the scene, after police vehicles allegedly rammed his vehicle to stop it.
