BERLIN (AP) — Two people were killed and more than 10 hospitalized after an elderly man lost control of his car on Saturday and plowed into a crowded cafe patio in southern Germany.

One 63-year-old woman died at the scene and a man died later in hospital.
The driver is also being treated, police said.
