Interior Minister Considers Political Motive Unlikely - Interior Minister Considers Political Motive Unlikely
An incident in downtown Giessen left four people injured on December 23, 2025. Authorities have confirmed there is no ongoing threat to the public, though investigations into the cause remain active. The state government has extended its sympathy to those affected and their families.
The most seriously injured individual suffered harm due to a collision with another vehicle, not a deliberate attack. Officials have ruled out political or terrorist motives, according to Hessian Interior Minister Roman Poseck (CDU). Instead, a medical condition is being examined as a possible factor behind the driver’s actions.
Poseck’s statement reassured the public that no wider danger exists. The focus now shifts to understanding the circumstances that led to the crash.
The investigation continues, with authorities reviewing all available evidence. No further details have been confirmed, and updates will depend on official reports. The incident remains under scrutiny to determine the exact sequence of events.
