Fatal accident in St. Georg: Police are urgently looking for witnesses
Hamburg (ots)
In the night of September 4, 2024, it was in Hamburg-St. Georg for a tragic traffic accident in which a 49-year-old man suffered dead injuries. The incident occurred around 10:45 p.m. in Barcastraße when a 41-year-old driver of an Alfa-Romeo drove the exit ramp of an underground car park. The deceased had apparently set up a night camp in front of the exit and had been hit by the vehicle during sleep.
The circumstances that led to this incident are so far unclear. However, the police investigation showed that the driver was under the influence of alcohol. A alcohol test carried out resulted in a value of more than 0.6 per thousand, which is why the police ordered a blood sample and confiscated his driver's license.
Details on the course of the accident
As soon as the fire brigade's forces arrived at the scene of the accident, immediate measures were taken. The seriously injured man was taken to a nearby hospital, where he died after an emergency operation. The traffic management team of the traffic directorate (VD 2) took over the on-site facts on site and initiated the first steps of the examination. The situation tragically shows the dangers that exist in connection with parked or holding vehicles and their surroundings.
Particularly frightening to this incident is the fact that the person concerned may have been homeless and was in a situation in need of help. This raises questions about the security of people in vulnerable situations, especially in urban areas where more and more people have to live on the street. The police therefore call on witnesses.
The crisis intervention team of the German Red Cross was also involved in offering psychosocial support to the driver. Such a measure shows how profound and stressful such an incident can also be for those involved without physical injuries.
call for witness reports
The authorities ask all persons who may have information about the course of the accident or the circumstances to help. These can contact the Hamburg police on 040 4286-56789 or directly at a police station. It is of great importance that all information is collected in order to understand the events more clearly and, if necessary, take the necessary steps to prevent similar accidents.
in Hamburg-St. Georg, a district with a unique mix of culture, shops and sensitive social issues, will have to be discussed for a long time about the incident. The tragedy of the accident and the associated circumstances are examples of the challenges that many urban communities face. It remains to be seen which measures are taken to ensure that such incidents can be avoided in the future.
