E-scooter accident in Weil am Rhein: Witnesses wanted for a collision!

A 15-year-old girl drove on an e-scooter at the accident time when it came to flowing traffic from the tram stop. She collided with the rear vehicle door of a car that was directed by a 46-year-old driver. The driver of the car was on the main street in the direction of the loop gyros.
