Frankfurt/Main (dpa/lhe) - In the process of a serious traffic accident with two fatalities and one seriously injured in Frankfurt, the pleas are expected on Tuesday. Both the public prosecutor's office and the co-plaintiffs as well as the defense want to hold their closing speeches. A 40-year-old driver has been in court since April for two counts of murder and illegal car racing.
In November 2020, he was carried out of the curve on a thoroughfare in Frankfurt's Ostend at 82 kilometers per hour - and caught a 27-year-old cyclist and a 61-year-old pedestrian. Both died. The passer-by's daughter was seriously injured.
In the trial, the accused had admitted the blame for the serious accident from the beginning. According to the public prosecutor's office, he was driving a 625 hp car, which he accelerated sharply at several traffic lights.
