Last Sunday afternoon, a tragic accident occurred in the small community of Salzkotten-Verse, which shocked the residents. A 55-year-old man was on a test drive with his self-made go-kart when he unfortunately got against a curb. The vehicle, which was not approved for road traffic, turned and the man fell on the head because he was not wearing a helmet.

The driver suffered life -threatening injuries and had to be taken to a hospital with a rescue helicopter. The authorities confiscated the self-made-go-kart, a beer box on a chassis with an incinerated engine. The exact cause of the accident is still being determined, but one thing is certain: accidents with self -made vehicles can have serious consequences and should be avoided.
