A man’s car rolls away on a steep slope – and a woman gets stuck between the vehicle and a parked car. The tragic accident in a community in southern Hesse ends fatally.
Seeheim-Jugenheim – In a tragic traffic accident, a woman in the southern Hessian community of Seeheim-Jungsheim was trapped between two cars and was fatally injured.
As the police announced on Friday morning, a 58-year-old got into his car parked on the hillside. The automatic vehicle then rolled backwards about two meters on the steep road. A 79-year-old was caught and trapped between the vehicle rolling backwards and another parked car.
Woman succumbs to her injuries
According to police, the man probably released the handbrake and did not accelerate enough to prevent the car from rolling. The woman died of serious injuries in the hospital. According to the police, two other people who were standing next to the victim at the time of the accident were able to get to safety in time and were only slightly injured. The exact cause of the accident will now be clarified by an expert.
A police spokesman said that automatic vehicles could also roll off “if it is steep enough”. (…). “We have already had this experience here a few times with our company vehicles.” Dpa
