Shock accident in Heidelberg: 77-year-old dies after a collision with a car

In Heidelberg there was a tragic accident on Karlsruher Straße on the morning of October 22nd. A 77-year-old pedestrian was hit by a car when she crossed the multi-lane road. The 29-year-old driver, who was traveling towards the city center, was unharmed, but shortly afterwards the senior citizen succumbed to her serious injuries in the hospital. The police speaks of a dramatic incident that has severely affected the communications in the area. The road was closed for around three hours.

During the rescue and accident recording, the authorities diverted the traffic flows. Although the closures were lifted again at 10 a.m., the right lane towards Heidelberg remains temporarily closed, which can lead to further traffic disorders. The investigation into the exact cause of the accident is carried out and an expert was consulted to put light into the dark while the city reacts to the mourning of the incident.
