Interestingly worded title - did the car drive itself into the crowd? No, right? Then why would they word it like that?

Anyway, more evidence to support the fact that cars are far too efficient as weapons to be granted as much free rein as they are today. Bollards save lives, implement them liberally throughout any areas with pedestrians.

Was it a parked car that simply went insane and started killing? /s

I don't think that people understand that you're ridiculing the passive voice used in the headline. A person drove that car. That person is the cause of the incident, and their weapon was a car.

Yeah, I figured. I should have added a footnote. LOL

This is Europe, not the USA, where everyone can go around everywhere with a deadly weapon, right?
