Shocking moment on Shrove Monday in Halle: During the carnival parade, there is an accident with a motto wagon and a woman. Many questions are still open.
Halle (dpa/sa) - During the carnival parade on Shrove Monday in Halle, a pedestrian was seriously injured. After the accident between a theme car and the woman, the move was canceled. This was announced by the President of the Halle-Saalkreis Carnival Association (HSKV), Ingo Küßner. The woman was taken to a hospital by paramedics, police said. It was initially unclear how the accident happened and who the injured person is. According to the police, the final event on the market square was also canceled.
After a two-year break due to the corona pandemic, the Rose Monday processions with thousands of fools started again in Köthen and Halle. In Köthen, patron Prime Minister Reiner Haseloff (CDU) was there before the start of the parade to receive the carnivalists. In Halle it was "Mr sense widder da!" (We are back!). According to Küßner, around 1,500 participants from 53 clubs were on the train. In Saxony-Anhalt, according to their own statements, 190 clubs with around 17,600 carnival participants are currently organized in the state carnival association.
