A woman, 46, has been killed and several injured after a car drove into a group of people in the southwestern German city of Stuttgart.

At around 5.50pm, a black Mercedes G-Class left the street and drove into at least eight people outside above-ground Olgaeck train station.

One person required CPR. Among the injured was a ‘mother with a pram’, RTL Deutschland reported.

A woman, among three seriously injured people taken to the hospital, later died this evening.

The driver of the van, 42, has been arrested. He was not injured.
