Illegal car racing in Bergheim: Children injured at Crash!
A suspected illegal car race ended in Bergheim, North Rhine-Westphalia, in a dramatic accident on Sunday. Four people were injured, including two children aged five and eight. The incident occurred during a wedding corset when a 27-year-old driver tried to overtake it, and collided head-on with the vehicle of a 23-year-old. The latter was not injured, but was involved in the collision.
The situation continued to escalate when a 38-year-old, who was in the immediate vicinity and could not dodge in time, was also involved in the accident. The 37-year-old mother of the two injured children sat in his car. All four had to be taken to the hospital after the incident. According to initial information, the children's injuries are stable, which is why the relatives can breathe a sigh of relief.
Investigations and confiscations
The police have started the investigation against the two drivers involved, the 27-year-old and the 23-year-old. Both are suspected of a forbidden car race - a serious accusation that also illustrates the dangers of such ruthless actions. "High speeds can be fatal in the event of errors, especially with children in the vehicle," said the police.
The accident site remained closed for several hours to secure evidence and recover the vehicles. In an apparently preventive measure, the main vehicles were also confiscated and the driver's licenses of the two responsible drivers were retained. Such measures are intended to prevent such incidents from repeating themselves and ensuring security on the streets.
A dangerous game
The risk of illegal car racing is often underestimated, as this incident impressively shows. Caution should be exercised in particular in residential areas or during festive occasions such as weddings. One can only hope that such tragic accidents serve as a reminder and help to minimize risky driving behavior.
The citizens of Bergheim are now worried and are wondering what measures are taken to avoid such dangerous situations. The attention of traffic safety is essential - there is something!
