Terrorism has been proactively ruled out as a motive.
Kidding but you know that will be the next statement.

Update: A "big bang"? Google automated translation of an article from Der Bild.
In trucks on the Berlin Christmas market at the memory church in a crowd drove - the police goes from a stop!
A person died, as a police officer said. Several visitors were injured. The situation is still confusing. Numerous rescue cars have arrived.
The Christmas market was cleared immediately.
According to "Berliner Morgenpost" the truck came from the Kantstraße / Budapest street on the premises. Recordings of a Facebook live video show destroyed boards on the Christmas market, visitors take care of injured ones lying on the ground.
The truck apparently ran across the Christmas market in an alley and came to a halt at the Christmas tree - many meters further.
In the meantime, eyewitnesses report on the social networks that there was a big bang. The cause of the pop is nothing known.
