A car drove into a crowd of people in a busy shopping district in western Berlin on Wednesday, killing at least one woman and leaving six others with life-threatening injuries, authorities said.
More than a dozen people in total were injured when the driver ploughed into people on Kurfuerstendamm avenue, near the landmark Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church, at around 10:30 a.m. local time, according to the German capital's police and fire department.
After slamming into the crowd, the small silver Renault careened toward Tauentzienstrasse, a tree-lined street popular with tourists, before crashing through a glass shop window.

“Sad. We need common sense car control laws.”
Limit horsepower in vehicles.
Install rubber bumpers.
All cars must be painted yellow.
You must be 21 to drive.
No one needs an SUV to go to the market.
On the other hand, horses are organic and good for the environment.

Not quite. It was “driven.” That implies human agency.

A Renault? Probably an accident. Likely the steering wheel fell off and the brakes failed simultaneously.

We need common-sense car reform NOW! Ban all cars with a zero-to-60 time of under 5 seconds, or a top speed over 85mph.
Nobody needs a high-performance assault car...

Just keep the car away from the Donner Kebap and French Fry Stands.

A car drove into a crowd of people... Of course. The car, all by itself under its own volition, drove into a crowd of people. Just like the attack in Wisconsin last December.

The ethnic nationality of the driver is really odd, German-Armenian.
Most Armenians are Christian.
Almost 10% of Germans are Muslims from Turkey.
Turks murdered around 1.5 million Armenians during World War One.
Was the Armenian driver trying to kill German Turks or Euro-Germans?
