Overview

• Police say a 20-year-old in a BMW ran a red light in Berlin-Wedding and drove onto a sidewalk, lightly injuring six children and seriously injuring their caregiver; he was detained on suspicion of driving under the influence, with no indication of a terror motive.
• A hazardous-materials lorry overturned on the A24 near Neuruppin, leaving the 66-year-old driver slightly hurt; the tank remained intact, the Berlin-bound carriageway was closed, a 100‑meter safety cordon was set, and the operation could last into the evening.
• Lower Saxony’s interior and justice ministries briefed lawmakers on the Friedland station killing as authorities confirmed DNA linking the 31-year-old suspect to the victim, noted his psychiatric contact the day before the attack, and faced questions about an outstanding deportation order.
• Polish border guards detailed the arrest of the 21-year-old Neugablonz fugitive at Medyka as he tried to cross with his brother’s passport; he remains in custody in Poland as German authorities investigate on suspicion including murder.
• Separate crashes caused more casualties nationwide, including two men killed in a head-on collision on the B311 near Ulm and two people severely injured when a BMW split in two after a frontal crash in Rhineland-Palatinate.
