The BMW driver who plunged from a multi-storey car park did not intend to trigger an incident. According to a close associate quoted by a reporting agency, he did not have any motive to harm himself or others. The remark emphasizes that the act was not premeditated, and the motive remains unclear to investigators.
According to the friend, the driver was a person of faith and believed in a higher power. The account describes how the moment unfolded with witnesses noting the sudden sequence of actions: the vehicle’s brakes responding, stoplights flickering to life, and the light playing across the interior and exterior walls before the vehicle left the upper level.
The friend added that the driver’s life had been characterized as orderly and, in his view, free from danger-seeking behavior. He described the man as someone who lived simply and avoided taking unnecessary risks, suggesting that the crash was not the result of a calculated decision but an unforeseen event that overwhelmed the driver in a split second.
The incident occurred at a shopping centre where the BMW, carrying a man, a woman, and a child, mounted the edge of the third floor and hurtled toward the lower levels. Medical responders arrived to find the passengers unconscious as crews began immediate on-site stabilization and rapid transfer to hospital facilities for urgent care. An acquaintance of the driver suggested that the abrupt shift in elevation left him little time to regain orientation, making a controlled response impossible.
A subsequent update indicated that authorities had begun the process of reviewing surveillance footage and speaking to witnesses to reconstruct the sequence of events and verify the driver’s state of mind in the moments leading up to the fall. The family and friends of those involved were understandably distressed, and investigators stressed the importance of careful, evidence-based conclusions to avoid speculation during the ongoing inquiry.
