Saxony: Investigations after fatal accident stopped

Dresden/Großenhain (dpa/sn) - The Dresden public prosecutor's office has closed its investigations into the case of a fatal traffic accident in Grossenhain. The authority said on Friday in Dresden that no evidence could be found against the 55-year-old suspect. She was investigating involuntary manslaughter.

The 55-year-old was driving a truck in Grossenhain on May 20 of this year. At one point he had to stop behind a van due to traffic. When he drove off again, he rolled over a 67-year-old who wanted to push his bike across the street in front of the truck. He died at the scene of the accident.

"The Dresden public prosecutor's office carried out extensive investigations during the investigation and also obtained an accident analysis expert report. As a result, it can be assumed that the accused could not recognize the injured party in the specific traffic situation because he was in a blind spot," it said . It can be assumed that the accident was unavoidable for the accused.
