Iran Press/ Europe: A woman was killed and nine other people were seriously injured when a car rammed into a group of commuters waiting for a bus in the western German town of Recklinghausen.
German police said that the driver might have attempted suicide, Iran Press reported.
A passenger car suddenly strayed into the oncoming lane and plowed through the people at a crowded bus stop midday on Thursday, the witnesses said, describing the scene as “chaotic.”
Ten people were taken to hospital in serious condition, with one woman later succumbing to her injuries.
The police believe that the collision was intentional, with spokeswoman, Ramona Hörst, saying that were “first indications of a possible suicide attempt by the man.”
