reThe cause of the fatal collision of a sports vehicle (SUV) with several people in Frankfurt was, according to the police, “most likely” excessive speed. Both an illegal auto race and an assassination attempt can be ruled out as a reason, a police spokesman said Sunday.
An expert is investigating the case, a police spokesman said Sunday morning. Witnesses wanted.
In the crash on Saturday afternoon, the truck went off the road around a curve and crashed into the wall of a house. According to the police, three people were seriously injured on the sidewalk. They reached the hospitals where a 62-year-old pedestrian from the Ostalb district in Baden-Württemberg and a younger bicycle messenger died. The condition of a seriously injured 31-year-old Frankfurt woman has stabilized, the spokesperson said.
The driver is said to be a 38-year-old man from the main metropolis. He was not seriously injured and was taken to a police station to clarify his personal data and record his testimony.
After a similar accident in Berlin in 2019, a debate broke out about the dangers of heavy sports off-road vehicles (SUVs). At that moment, one of these vehicles ran off the road in the center of the capital, fatally injuring four pedestrians, including a three-year-old boy.
