Chaotic Scene in Passau: Man Plows Car into Family, Daughter and Wife Injured

Accident involving a female pedestrian and a child: Suspect detained - Person strikes woman and child; suspect apprehended

Here's the skinny on what went down in Passau, Germany: a 48-year-old man, driving a Mercedes, plowed into a crowd on the sidewalk near the main train station causing mayhem. The casualties included his 40-year-old wife and their five-year-old daughter, along with three others, who are fortunate enough to have only sustained minor injuries.

The incident has the local police on high alert, as they suspect a domestic custody dispute could be the motivating factor behind the crash. Spokesperson for the Passau police revealed that past interventions involving the suspect's spouse have taken place in the past.

According to initial findings, it seems as though the suspect's attempt at causing harm was indeed deliberate. The man has since been apprehended and is currently in custody, awaiting charges for attempted manslaughter[3].

The suspect's wife and a 39-year-old woman were initially hospitalized, but the wife is reportedly out of danger[2]. Witnesses at the scene quickly alerted the authorities, and all the injured were transported to the hospital via ambulance.

The rest of the injured individuals included an 18-year-old and a 52-year-old woman, all suffering from scrapes and bruises[2]. The relationship between the other injured parties and the suspect's family remains unknown at this time.

The police are treating this incident very seriously and have not ruled out the possibility that the suspect's actions were a deliberate act of violence. The man was immediately arrested and interrogated, though his statements regarding the crime have yet to be made public.

Determining the true motives behind this horrific event is now the primary focus of the Passau Criminal Investigation Department, working closely with the Passau Public Prosecutor's Office.

The crash occurred around 3:30 PM, leaving the surrounding area cordoned off. The wrecked car was later towed away, having also damaged a nearby front garden.

The police are appealing to anyone who may have witnessed the incident or has relevant information to come forward and contact the Passau Criminal Investigation Department[2].
