A vehicle hit pedestrians at a subway stop in Stuttgart, Germany, killing one and injuring several. The driver was apprehended, but police suspect a tragic accident, not an attack, Euronews reported.

A group of pedestrians in the southwestern German city of Stuttgart were struck by a driver behind the wheel of an black SUV, killing one person and injuring seven people, some of them seriously, police have said.

“Five people were slightly injured and three seriously injured in the accident. Of the seriously injured, a 46-year-old woman has since succumbed to her injuries in the hospital,” police said in a Friday evening statement.

In an earlier post on the social media platform X, Stuttgart Police said all evidence pointed to a "tragic traffic accident" and that they had found no evidence of an attack.

The incident happened at an above-ground subway stop in Stuttgart city centre, police said.
