I.In northern Hesse, a car driver hit a group of school children on Friday and killed a girl in the process.
As the police in Eschwege announced, the accident occurred in the morning in the municipality of Witzenhausen near Kassel. Accordingly, three girls between the ages of seven and eight were injured, and one child died in the hospital.
The 30-year-old driver, who then crashed into a wall, was seriously injured. According to the officials, he had strayed from a country road at the level of a daycare center for reasons that were still unknown and had thus lost control of his vehicle. It captured a group of children on their way to the local elementary school, the collision occurring in front of a daycare center.
The three girls were hit head-on by the car and suffered serious and sometimes life-threatening injuries. One of them died in a hospital later that day, according to police. The other two girls continued to be treated in clinics, but were therefore not in mortal danger.
After the accident, helpers started a large-scale operation. Two rescue helicopters were also dispatched. According to the police, the cause of the accident was completely unclear, and an expert was commissioned to investigate. The 30-year-old’s car was also confiscated.
