Two people killed and more injured after car ploughs into pedestrians in Germany

At least two people are dead and multiple others injured after a car ploughed into them in a pedestrian zone in a German city.

The driver of the car has been arrested, said police in the city of Trier as the force urged people to stay away from the area.

The local police force and mayor, Wolfram Leibe, confirmed two people were killed.

Police have not stated if it is being treated as a terrorist incident - the Mirror UK reports.

Public broadcaster SWR reported that the driver had been detained by police, adding that details of the incident were unclear.

Photos posted online show a body covered by a tarpaulin in a pedestrian street decorated with Christmas lights, while a video clip showed an injured person on the floor next to a shop as witnesses signalled for help.
