Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania: accident with four serious injuries: expert examines the circumstances

When the open-air party was over, a driver drove into a group of pedestrians near Bad Doberan. The exact circumstances of the accident in which four people were seriously injured are still unclear. A reviewer has started work.

Bad Doberan (dpa/mv) - One day after the serious accident with four people seriously injured near Bad Doberan (Rostock district), a Dekra expert checked the exact circumstances of the incident. Among other things, it is about whether the 19-year-old driver could have seen the group of pedestrians coming from an open-air party in time, as a police spokesman said on Monday in Rostock. The 19-year-old hit five people with the car early on Sunday morning. A woman and three men were injured so badly that they had to be taken to two hospitals in Rostock. The 19-year-old is being investigated on suspicion of negligent bodily harm.

The incident came after an "XXL foam party" on the grounds of an old racetrack was over early Sunday morning. Most participants walked along a narrow street to their cars or other means of transport to get home. The 19-year-old had driven his car into the group. An emergency doctor had described the woman and one of the three injured men as "severely injured". However, there was no more detailed information on this. The condition has not changed, said the police spokesman on Monday. A woman was also slightly injured and was able to walk again after outpatient treatment.

Witnesses immediately alerted the emergency services and the police. The Dekra expert was appointed by the public prosecutor's office and visited the scene of the accident on Sunday. The car involved in the accident, whose windscreen was destroyed, was confiscated. The 19-year-old driver from Rostock, who is being investigated, has now been able to go home, it said.
