An investigation is underway in Germany after a car crashed into a crowd, killing one person and leaving several others with life-threatening injuries. The incident happened Wednesday in a busy shopping district in Berlin.

According to reports, the car crashed into a store after hitting the crowd. Witnesses detained the driver until police arrived on the scene. Authorities are trying to determine if this was a deliberate act or if the driver had a medical emergency.
