[YNet] - At least five people were injured in the German capital early Sunday morning after a car drove off the road and into pedestrians.

The incident occurred shortly after 7 a.m. in Berlin's Hardenbergplatz, outside the Zoological Garden train station, the DPA news reported.

Berlin's fire department said in a Twitter update that some of the pedestrians sustained serious injuries and that a rescue helicopter was deployed to help. Further details were not immediately available.
Update from Deutsche Welle at 12:10 p.m. EDT:
Later, Berlin police said the 24-year-old driver lost control of the car when turning left because he was likely speeding.

He was taken into custody and a manslaughter investigation has been opened.
The vehicle was a Mercedes with an Estonian license plate.
