In a shocking incident in Donauwörth, an 82-year-old pedestrian was seriously injured on Wednesday morning.

In foggy conditions, he overlooked the senior citizen who was traveling with her dog. The rear of the vehicle covered the woman, who then plunged to the ground.

The senior injuries were serious, which is why she was immediately brought to the Donau-Ries Clinic with an ambulance. Fortunately, her dog remained intact, as did the person who caused the accident. But the authorities have already reacted: The Donauwörth police inspection has initiated a criminal investigation against the 64-year-old on suspicion of negligent bodily harm.
