A car goes off the road around a curve and collides with a group of pedestrians. Police have no evidence that the driver intentionally entered the group.
In Kempen am Niederrhein (North Rhine-Westphalia), a driver collided with a group of pedestrians: a twelve-year-old boy died. The 30-year-old driver spun off the road with his car on Thursday, police said. The boy’s mother and a 43-year-old pedestrian who was also on the bicycle and the sidewalk were seriously injured. The boy’s two-year-old brother suffered minor injuries.
The driver, a German from Kempen, was slightly injured. According to police, it is still unclear why he left the lane at the right turn around 4.30 pm However, there is currently no evidence that he intentionally entered the group.
Stroller completely destroyed
According to a police spokesman, the unlit scene of the accident is on a long right-hand bend in a forest. The car skidded across the trail and bike path into a field, where it stopped. The pram in which the two-year-old was riding was destroyed in the accident, as pictures show. The 43-year-old pedestrian does not belong to the family, according to police.
The accident brings back memories of a similar, but much more tragic accident, about a year ago in Berlin, in which a child and three other bystanders also died. The driver of a pickup truck had rushed uncontrollably toward a group of pedestrians on the sidewalk. The researchers assume that the man had previously suffered a “seizure.” His car had run off the road while crossing the approaching lane, hit a stoplight, and crossed the site fence.
