The fire service earlier said a dozen people were injured and six were in a life-threatening condition. Police later said 14 students were among the injured. The incident revived memories of 2016, when a man in the same area of Berlin hijacked a truck, killed the driver and drove into a crowded Christmas market and killed 11 more people.
Blankets covered what appeared to be a body in a cordoned-off area guarded by police. Rescue workers moved apparently conscious people on stretchers towards an ambulance, including one woman sitting up, and another who covered her face with her hand. The nearby Europa Center complex was later evacuated in case the crashed car contained explosives, police said.
