Lippstadt (dpa / lnw) - A scooter driver was seriously injured in a collision with a car in Lippstadt (Soest district) on Friday. At an intersection, the 15-year-old ignored the right of way of a 33-year-old car coming from the right, the police said. There was a collision in the area of the intersection, as a result of which the youth was thrown from his machine onto the road. The ambulance took the seriously injured to a hospital. The driver was uninjured.
The vehicles involved in the accident were secured. A blood test was ordered for the person who caused the accident. Since he did not have a driver's license for the scooter, which the police said was "apparently too fast" and "apparently there was no insurance cover" for the vehicle, criminal proceedings were initiated.
