Saterland. A 37-year-old woman and an eleven-year-old child died in a serious traffic accident near Saterland (Cloppenburg district). At times, five children and another adult were in mortal danger.

A mother and her eleven-year-old son died after a serious car accident near Saterland in Lower Saxony. The 37-year-old driver of the car died Friday night at the crash site, the boy succumbing to serious injuries at a clinic in the morning, as police spokesman Hendrik Ebmeyer said on Saturday. The 32-year-old passenger and five other children are seriously injured. According to Ebmeyer, two of them remain in mortal danger.

It is still unclear why the car hit a tree in a straight line about 40 kilometers east of the German-Dutch border on Friday night, the police spokesman said. In any case, the car homologated for seven people was crammed with eight occupants. “We have to assume that at least one passenger was uninsured,” Ebmeyer said. According to him, all the victims of the accident come from the Cloppenburg district.

Of the other three children between the ages of 2 and 10, two are in mortal danger. A boy and the 32-year-old passenger and their 9- and 13-year-old daughters are considered seriously injured.
