(LifeSiteNews) — Germany is reeling after a driver of a car seemed to intentionally run over multiple people at a Christmas market in the eastern city of Magdeburg, leaving at least one person dead.

According to local reports, in addition to the one fatality, as many as 80 were injured by the speeding vehicle. While the name of the driver has yet to be released, and there is no word of a motive, video footage seems to indicate the driver intentionally ran down market goers.

The deadly affair comes less than a month after Germany’s Interior Minister Nancy Faeser implored citizens to exercise “great vigilance” when attending Christmas markets this year citing unspecified “Islamist” threats.
