Death toll in Germany rises to 4; driver may have had mental issues
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe man who drove his car through a pedestrian shopping street in the German city of Trier on Tuesday appears to have been suffering from “psychiatric problems,” prosecutor Peter Fritzen says, as the death toll rises to four.
Police say among those killed was a baby.
Early indications “suggest that psychiatric problems possibly played a role,” he tells reporters, adding the driver was also under the influence of alcohol at the time.
Prosecutors are considering requesting that he be placed in psychiatric care, Fritzen adds.
