Tragedy in Esslingen: mother and two sons killed in horror accident

In Esslingen, Baden-Württemberg, a terrible tragedy occurred on Tuesday afternoon when Antonella R. (39) and her two sons, Gabriel (6) and Alessio (3), were brutally torn from life shortly before soccer training. Just a few meters from the entrance to the sports hall, the family was hit by an uncontrolled Audi Q3 that sped onto the sidewalk. Tragically, the mother and her children died instantly when the SUV not only hit them, but also crashed through a fence and a power box.

The police have now launched an investigation into negligent homicide against the 54-year-old driver of the Audi, who was taken to hospital due to his injuries. Initial reports indicate that the Audi suddenly began to skid, although there is no current suspicion of alcoholic influence. The safety authorities are wondering whether there was a collision before the fatal impact and are calling on witnesses to come forward (Tel.: 0711/3990 420).
