Car drives into German carnival parade, more than 30 reported injured
BERLIN - Around 30 people were injured on Monday after a car plowed into a carnival parade in the western German town of Volkmarsen, police said on Monday.
German news website HNA cited witnesses as saying the man appeared to have targeted children and had driven “at full throttle” into the crowd, which had gathered for the traditional procession ahead of the Christian season of Lent. Carnival is hugely popular in parts of western Germany, especially in Rhineland cities such as Cologne and Duesseldorf, where festivities peak on “Rose Monday” with tens of thousands attending street parades featuring comical or satirical floats.
Amateur pictures published online showed police officers standing next to a silver Mercedes-Benz car that appeared to have been involved.
