In Neunkirchen, there was once again a serious accident that continues the already worrying series of injuries among pedestrians. On Thursday morning, November 21, a 63-year-old woman was hit on a crosswalk, which is the eighth incident of this kind in just one week.

A 36-year-old came with his Gulf on Kölner Strasse at 7:20 a.m. when he noticed a pedestrian at the Rewe market. At that time, this wanted to cross the zebra crossing. Another driver who came from the direction of Neunkirchen-Salchendorf was willingly stopped to enable the senior citizen to cross the street. Unfortunately, while the 63-year-old had already passed more than half of the road, it came to the accident. The young driver's golf recorded them.

cause of the accident: distraction by passers -by

As the police said, the 36-year-old driver had distracted his attention at that moment. He stated that he had been distracted by a child and a woman who stayed on the opposite side of the street. This meant that he lost sight of the pedestrian and could not react in time.

The injured pedestrian had to be taken to a hospital with an ambulance where she was treated. The incident is now investigating the traffic commissioner that has targeted the 36-year-old about suspected negligent bodily harm.
