A motorist overthrew a grandmother and grandson in a residential area of Gaggenau, Baden, and left the dying helpless. The 54-year-old boy and the seven-month-old boy died after the collision. Police have identified a suspect, but denied an initial stake, as police and prosecutors announced Saturday. The 47-year-old man was arrested but was released Friday night.
According to investigators, the driver of the car drove his car to the residential area near the Murg River on Friday night. Of unknown origin, he came to the right of the road. On the sidewalk parallel to the road, he caught the woman and her grandson, who was probably in the stroller, according to the police. The 54-year-old man died on the way to the hospital. A rescue helicopter took the child to hospital with life-threatening injuries, where he also died early Saturday morning.
Instead of helping the victims, the driver had fled the city center after the accident. Investigators had found the license plate of the alleged car accident at the scene. In the evening, the police located the 47-year-old man with a friend in the Gaggenau area. Officials also found a heavily damaged car, which should belong to the man. At first, we did not know anything about his later identity. "It does not matter," said a police spokesman. The spokesman also wanted to say nothing to the family of the victims.
According to the police, the alleged driver alleges that he is participating in the accident. Now the blood tests show he was drunk or he had taken drugs. Traffic and criminal police experts and an expert worked Saturday to reconstruct the accident.
