The 32-year-old driver of the car has been arrested by the Albanian police, who believe that he was driving under the influence of drugs, as reported by BBC. He also reportedly had crashed into three cars in other parts of the city before entering Skanderbeg Square.

A passer-by also suspected that the driver was aiming for the crowd in a possible terrorist attack. The pedestrian square was also a site for Covid-19 vaccination where various people could be seen queuing up to get vaccinated at the time.
