According to The Mirror, police have confirmed an arrest and that a second person inside the cabin of the truck was killed.

This, of course, is reminiscent to the Bastille Day truck attack in Nice. Just days ago, French police arrested 7 suspected jihadists who they say were planning a similar attack at Christmas markets.
