At the time of writing, Berlin police clarified that they are unsure if the act was an accident or deliberate.
According to AP News, the Berlin fire department was alerted to the scene at around 10.30am local time.
The incident took place next to the war-ravaged Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church — one of the city’s most famous landmarks.

Sky News reports that local police have detained a man believed to be the driver of the vehicle.
He reportedly drove a small Renault car and attempted to escape from the scene before police intervention.
According to multiple news reports, the driver drove erratically around the street, and went up and down kerbs before driving into a person on the street, killing them.
He drove around some more without stopping, and rammed his vehicle through the café area and then into a storefront window.
Actor John Barrowman, who happened to be in the area, described the incident as “pretty horrific”.
He also shared a video that showed a helicopter hovering over the site.
Yahoo News reports that the incident occurred near the same site where an extremist hijacked a truck and drove it through a crowd at a Christmas market in 2016.
Twelve people lost their lives.
