Tragic accident: 16-year-old dies after Auto-Crash in the moat

A tragic incident occurred in the east of Lower Saxony when a car with two young people raced into a moat. A 16-year-old died in this accident, while a 14-year-old seriously injured was taken to a hospital. The police announced this and determined the exact circumstances of the accident.

The vehicle, a VW Lupo, was only discovered a few hours after the accident. A passerby came across the car that was on the roof in a ditch near Söllingen, southeast of Braunschweig. Almost completely sunk in the water, the car was only partially visible at the rear. According to initial investigations, the incident occurred four to five hours before the vehicle was discovered. The police received the call against tomorrow and found the two young people in the car when they arrived.

The cause of the accident

Parents, relatives and friends are shaken about the loss of the 16-year-old, whose name has not yet been published. The surviving 14-year-old was appealing after the accident what a glimmer of hope was, but he suffered life-threatening injuries and had to be flown to a clinic by rescue helicopter. The fire brigade was able to free both from the vehicle, but all help came too late for the older youngsters.

First investigations indicate that the car has probably strayed from the road in a left curve. It is believed that excessive speed was one of the main causes for the accident, since the vehicle overturned and finally ended up in the moat. An expert was commissioned to clarify the cause of the accident.

The police also took a blood sample of the 14-year-old to determine whether alcohol or drugs were involved. The investigation continues and it remains to be seen which further information will come to light. Such incidents arouse the safety of young drivers and the dangers of excessive speeds on the streets. More details on this incident are in the article by www.uckermarkurier.de to read.
