Car rolls over and lands in the roof of the barn - boy's life is in danger!

On Saturday evening, a dramatic traffic accident occurred in Bohmte, Lower Saxony, which put a seven-year-old boy's life in danger. As exxpress.at reports, a vehicle left the road at high speed and rammed a parked car in a yard. It broke through two hedges, rolled over several times and crashed into a low-lying garden.

The car hit a trampoline on which a child was playing. The vehicle was catapulted into the air by the bump and the trampoline and finally got stuck in the roof of a barn at a height of three meters. There were a total of five people in the car, including three children aged 11, 12 and 13, who escaped with minor injuries. A 43-year-old passenger, however, was seriously injured and had to be taken to hospital, but has since been released. The 42-year-old driver also suffered minor injuries.

Rescue operations and investigations

The rescue forces, consisting of over 50 firefighters, two rescue helicopters, twelve ambulances, police, THW and emergency chaplains, were quickly on site to deal with the situation. The wrecked car was removed from the roof of the barn with a crane during the night. The exact cause of the accident is currently unclear and the police have launched an investigation to clarify the background.

This type of traffic accident is not uncommon in Lower Saxony, as data from the Lower Saxony State Office for Statistics shows. It is reported that the statistics collect comprehensive data on road traffic accidents documented by the police on public roads and places. This also includes information about the causes of accidents, people involved in accidents and the type of vehicles involved.
