A 42-year-old is said to have intentionally steered into oncoming traffic on a federal highway near Reutlingen.
A 42-year-old German is in custody for attempted murder after a deliberate collision with three cars on a federal highway near Reutlingen.
The man is said to have intentionally steered his vehicle into oncoming traffic on the B 464 on Monday, as the public prosecutor and police said.
His car collided sideways with an oncoming car driven by a 60-year-old and head-on with another vehicle driven by a 38-year-old.
All three drivers suffered serious injuries.
Dashcam footage from a witness showing the targeted maneuver is considered evidence.
The suspect therefore at least accepted the death of the other drivers.
It is currently assumed that there was suicidal intent, said a police spokesman.
A judge executed the arrest warrant on Thursday.
The investigation is ongoing.
