Man plows car into crowd in Germany, injuring his own wife, child

A 48-year-old man drove a Mercedes into a group of pedestrians in Passau in Germany's state of Bavaria, injuring five people—including his own wife and five-year-old daughter.

The incident occurred in a public area where witnesses say the vehicle suddenly veered into the crowd, Caliber.Az reports via foreign media.

Authorities confirmed that one person sustained moderate injuries, while four others—including the suspect’s family members—suffered minor injuries. Police are currently investigating the motive behind the act. Eyewitnesses and initial reports suggest that a domestic custody dispute may have been a contributing factor, though this has not been officially confirmed.
