A stolen truck ploughed into cars in the centre of the German city of Limburg on Monday leaving several people injured, police said, adding that the driver had been detained.
"Based on what we have learned and several witness accounts, the man seized control of the truck at about 5:20 pm (1520 GMT)," police said in a statement.
Soon after, the truck slammed into cars waiting at a stoplight near the main railway station of Limburg in Hesse state, "crushing them together".
"Several people are being treated in hospital" and the driver, who is in custody, was slightly injured, police added.
German news agency DPA quoting regional police put the number of people hurt at 16 including one person in a critical condition.
Police said it was too soon to speculate about a motive.

[Police said it was too soon to speculate about a motive.]
Oh. I guess this was before the “Allahu Ackbar!”
What the local cops say...this guy is Syrian and been in Germany since 2015, and 32 years old.
Guy approached the truck while it was stopped in town...opened the door, and yanked the German driver out, then took over the vehicle. At this point, nine injured...none seriously.
Cops are investigating and the state attorney has taken over the case. If I were taking a humble guess...he’ll undergo a mental evaluation and be pronounced a nutcase, and spend the rest of his life in some German mental facility. They will avoid a court session where religion might come up.
The added weight here is that if you introduce Islam to anyone who is already paranoid schizophrenic....it just intensifies their issues and makes them more of a threat.
Effin Amish...
I thought they would do everything they could to cover it up.
Same MO as in Stockholm and Berlin a couple of years ago.
(The perps all had the same religion, but that is of course completely irrelevant.)
Do I need to put an (/s) after the last sentence?
Police said it was too soon to speculate about a motive.
and the driver is....................
ban trucks!
If you poop in the soup,(ie: allow immigration from a shit hole country into yours ) expect to be eating a whole pot of poop soup, not just a spoonful
“Police said it was too soon to speculate about a motive.”
So it would be premature for me to ignore decades of convincing evidence in these types of mayhem and assume sudden jihadi syndrome?
From the article:
“ The Office for the Protection of the Constitution, Germany’s domestic security watchdog, warned in April of an increased risk posed by IS fighters returning from Syria and northern Iraq.
Its director Thomas Haldenwang said that an estimated 2,240 Islamists with “terrorist potential” were living in Germany.”
....
The Germans are completely confounded by this and have no clue as what to do, so they will do nothing.
