A serious traffic accident occurred on Friday morning in Güstrow when a vehicle and a pedestrian collided on the stitch road in front of a medical center. The circumstances of the accident are worrying and raise questions about medical emergencies while driving.

According to the first reports from the police, an 85-year-old man stopped his car to enable his passenger to get out. At this crucial moment, the driver apparently suffered a medical emergency that led to the accelerator pedal. Witnesses reported a sudden and rapidly approaching Citroen, who caught a 70-year-old pedestrian who was just about to cross the street.

A tragic event

The impact was so violent that the pedestrian suffered serious injuries. Immediately after the incident, she was brought to the KMG Klinikum Güstrow to be treated there. The state of the senior citizen illustrates the dangers that pedestrians are exposed to in road traffic.

The 85-year-old, on the other hand, had to be reanimated on site, which shows how dramatic the situation was. Despite all the efforts of the rescue workers, he died in the hospital a short time later. This shocking turn illustrates not only the tragedy of the accident, but also the unpredictability of health problems in old age.

As a result of the accident, the vehicle was recovered from the bushes in which it came to a standstill. The Güstrow criminal police have started the investigation into the exact course of the accident. Both the medical conditions of the driver and the circumstances of the collision are the focus of the examinations.

This terrible incident not only raises questions about traffic safety, but also illuminates the potential risks associated with journeys of older people, especially in combination with health problems. The police and the responsible authorities will carefully analyze the incident to avoid similar tragedies in the future.
