What is the Foreign Office advice for Berlin?
"The German authorities are investigating... a likely terrorist attack," the Foreign Office said. "You should remain vigilant and follow the advice of local authorities. The German police have issued a contact number +49 30 540 23 111 for people concerned, or +49 30 540 24 111 for people who may have relevant information."
Can I cancel my trip?
You can, but you will have to pay any extra costs you incur. Travel companies are not obliged to offer free cancellation or repatriation unless the FCO advises against travel - though some might make exceptions for specific incidents or destinations. It is worth checking with the company you booked with.
While some hotels may allow you to postpone your booking, you are normally liable to honour any hotel bookings unless there is a free cancellation clause.
At the time of writing, the incident is not expected to affect tourism to any major degree, however, and most of the citys resilient inhabitants are going about their business as usual, with plans for New Years celebrations in Berlin fully expected to go ahead.

From the look of the truck would the driver/suspect have some injuries like cuts or bruising to the face or arms?The windshield is badly damaged.His injuries would be noticable.
In a country where a painful experience with fascism has placed personal privacy at a premium, the investigation was sure to be complicated by the absence of surveillance cameras that have become the norm in cities like London.
Instead, officials appealed to witnesses and the public to provide tips or video of the crime scene and any suspects, and to avoid posting them on social media outlets.
German officials are normally tight-lipped about high-profile investigations, preferring to withhold any information until they have clear answers.
The readiness to go public at such an early stage of the investigation reflects the sensitivity of the issue and the political problems Ms. Merkel already faces over her government’s policy of admitting refugees by the hundreds of thousands.
The windshield held fairly well at the side of the driver. The big hole is on the passenger's side.
