Newsroom December 21 12:23

Details of the death of the Polish driver, Lukasz Urban, 37, who was killed during Monday’s Christmas market attack in Berlin, Monday which claimed the lives of 12 people and injured another 48 are coming to light. According to the autopsy report, Urban, a married father of one child, fought heroically with the terrorist before being stabbed a shot in the head. His struggle with the terrorist to take over the steering wheel, even after being seriously injured saved lives. It is believed that if it hadn’t been for Urban the death toll would have been much higher, as the report revealed that the heroic Pole had fought to take control of the truck until his last breath.
