Car runs into crowds in Berlin, leaving people dead and injured

A car crashed into crowds near a church in Berlin, killing at least one person and injuring up to 30 more.

On Wednesday morning, a silver Renault collided with pedestrians on Rankestrasse, a busy shopping and cafe area in western Berlin.

The car was lodged in the front of a shop, adjacent to outdoor café tables, with what seemed to be blood on the sidewalk, according to images from the scene.

 

Another image shows police cars, ambulances, and fire trucks stationed at the top of the road, adjacent to Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church.

The driver has been apprehended, however it remains unclear whether the accident was intentional.

‘A man is thought to have collided with a gathering of people.’ ‘Whether it was an accident or a planned act is yet unknown,’ officials said.

The crash occurred near Breitscheidplatz in Berlin’s major shopping center, which was the site of a 2016 Christmas market attack in which 11 people were killed.

  1. To keep the heating and lights on for their dog in the winter, dog owners may be spending close to £300 annually. In his studies, energy efficiency expert Dr. David Glew has observed numerous instances of people leaving the central heating on in their vacant homes to keep their pets warm. He cautions that having the heating on for a dog might increase the annual gas bill in a big family house by £240. Dr. Glew estimates that leaving the lights on for a pet in a few rooms for six hours a day may cost £50 a year with contemporary spotlights or £12 a year with LED lightbulbs. While leaving a fan on would only cost £5, leaving the air conditioning on throughout the entire house may cost hundreds more per year. The majority of healthy pets have enough fur to keep them warm, according to veterinarians, so turning on the heat or air conditioning is typically unnecessary. This month at the Cheltenham Science Festival, Dr. Glew, director of energy efficiency and policy at Leeds Beckett University, brought up the subject in a discussion. There is no need to leave the heater on for pets, he said, but if owners feel they must, they might think about solely heating the room the dog enjoys or lowering the thermostat or radiator dial.
