    No, doesn’t ring a bell.
    Most likely because it was overshadowed by a series of those kind of attacks here in Germany where I live during the recent years.

    One of the first and more severe happened only a few months before the one you mentioned and started a serious review of Christmas market safety measures in particular:

    Nonetheless there again was a severe one at a Christmas market not to too long ago:
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_Magdeburg_car_attack

    And a bunch of similar but less severe incidents and also attacks in other European countries.

    Those are the ones that primarily came to my mind, news of similar US attacks probably just got drowned in the noise.

    So today learned that it sadly also is a thing in the US…

      OK, I live in Austria and was aware of both the two you mention and the one in Charlottesville. Too much information nowadays, I guess…
