A small truck that may have been carrying explosives crashed into a crowd of people in the western German college town of Muenster on Saturday at high speed, killing three people and injuring at least 20, according to police, who said the driver of the truck shot himself to death. 

"It's too early to call this an attack but the investigation is going in that direction," said Andreas Bode, police spokesman in Muenster. 

"Three people were killed, 20 were injured, including six who were critically injured. The driver of the truck killed himself while still in the vehicle." 

Bode added: "There was a potentially suspicious object in the vehicle. We are investigating what it is." German media reports said that the object had wires protruding from it.
