The number of people injured one day after a car rammed into a group of people during a carnival parade in the central state of Hesse is over 50, authorities said on Tuesday.
The police said in a statement that 52 people, among them 17 children, were injured in the incident in the small town of Volkmarsen.
The driver, a 29-year-old German citizen, was suspected of intentionally ramming the car into the carnival parade.
