If by crime of opportunity you meant it was unplanned, I don't think that the particular driver murdered having been at the fatal encounter by happenstance clearly indicated hijacking some truck by killing some driver wasn't a scheduled component of a previously thought out plan.
The question is did the perpetrator behave as a result of radicalization? If one were to look at all newsworthy cases where a lone perpetrator sought to kill and succeeded in killing a large number of people in the western world, one might find the deathtoll resulting such acts motivated by reasons other than radical Islam remains much greater than those motivated by radical Islam.
If the perpetrator was motivated through radicalization, then the question is did he become radicalized prior to or after coming to Germany.
