I was horrified to hear this morning, from multiple news sources, about how a truck decided on its own to murder four Israelis.

The truck’s attack comes after two trucks attacked and killed dozens in Nice, France and Berlin and a car attacked The Ohio State University. Israel in particular has been the victim of a slew of truck and car attacks, in what is presumably a Stephen King-esque horror premise come alive.
Oddly, these vehicles only seem to malfunction when being driven by jihadis.
