JAKARTA - A tragic event occurred next to the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church, a famous landmark in the German capital. When the Renault car swerved and hit the pedestrians, killing 1 person.

The car crashed into a crowd of people in Berlin on Wednesday 8 June. One resident was killed, a dozen were injured and five others were seriously injured, a fire service spokesman said.

"A man is believed to have hit a group of people. It is not yet known whether it was an accident or a deliberate act," police said.

Police are looking into whether the incident was a deliberate attack or the result of an ill driver. Police are investigating all possibilities, the spokesman said.

After crashing, a small silver Renault car was stuck in a shop. The car could no longer move after hitting the window.

After that, local residents immediately arrested the driver and finally handed him over to the police. The driver is currently under medical treatment.

John Barrowman, an actor who was at the scene, told Sky News in the UK: "I saw a woman being put into an ambulance ... it looked like they were resuscitating someone."

The incident took place near the site of the fatal attack on December 19, 2016. At that time, Anis Amri, a Tunisian asylum seeker hijacked a truck, killed the driver and then hijacked it into a busy west Berlin Christmas market. He hit 11 more people and injured dozens more.

Amri then fled to Italy and the police killed him.
