There was an incident in Scotland around 8-10 years ago where a bin lorry driver fell asleep at the wheel. The bin lorry lost control and ran into a crowd of people, killing/injuring about 16. Although it was an accident, it went to police inquiry (not a trial) as the driver had failed to disclose a medical condition and there was a similar / previous incident (although no casualties).
Following this Scottish incident, I couldn't help noticing that terrorist attacks started to use vehicle-ramming as an attack method. Like we had the lorry attack in Nice/France, the same in Berlin/Germany, plus several in London, think: Westminster and London Bridge. I'm happy to be corrected, but before the bin lorry incident, I never recalled this type of attack, so it seems to be copy-cat crime to me.
