Wuppertal (dpa / lnw) - After an accident on Autobahn 1 near Wuppertal, which was probably caused deliberately, a driver was taken into custody for attempted manslaughter. The 36-year-old is accused of wanting to hurt his 26-year-old girlfriend who was sitting in the passenger seat, a prosecutor's spokesman said on Wednesday. The background was probably a relationship dispute. A homicide squad was set up.
Accordingly, the 36-year-old drove his car from the left lane into the rear of a truck on Tuesday. After the car came to a stop, the suspect choked the woman, witnesses said. According to the message, the woman was taken to the hospital and, according to the prosecutor, has already been questioned. The prosecutor said the dispute was about to be investigated further.
