Driver overlooks boys: Accident because of icy windshield!

A shocking incident shook in Bielefeld-Vilsendorf on Tuesday morning when a six-year-old boy was hit by a car while crossing a green pedestrian light. The little cyclist was traveling with his parents when the 23-year-old driver of an Opel Corsa, who had insufficiently scratched her windscreen, did not pay attention to the boy when turning right. The unfortunate incident occurred around 07:25 when the family drove the sidewalk on the Orchiedeenstrasse and wanted to reach Vilsendorfer Straße, like nw.de reported .

Despite the boy's injuries suffered, which fortunately were only easy, the accident underlines the critical importance of a clear view when driving, especially in winter conditions. The police found that the driver's view was severely impaired due to the icy windscreen, since she had only scratched two small "peep holes". The deep sun additionally made the view difficult, which significantly influenced the cause of the accident. In a message, the authorities emphasized that it is of essential importance to clear the windows before driving, such as kosmo.at reported .

Although the incident went out lightly and the boy's parents were unharmed, he throws a light on the dangers of road traffic in poor visibility. The police have already kept an eye on the circumstances of the accident to ensure that such incidents can be avoided in the future.
