Serious accident in Neu-Ulm: teenager trapped between bus and car!
A serious traffic accident shook the quiet neighborhood in the Offenhausen district of Neu-Ulm on Friday afternoon. A 15-year-old teenager wanted to cross the road on a busy street when a serious incident occurred. He was overlooked by a 47-year-old driver who was driving past a bus that was approaching. The tragedy of the incident: The boy was trapped between the car and the bus and suffered serious injuries. Passers-by and passengers on the bus immediately rushed to help and alerted the emergency services, who took the injured teenager to the university clinic in Ulm. Fortunately, there were no other injuries on the bus or car.
The incident caused quite a stir and Augsburger Straße had to be closed in both directions for over an hour. The police have now started an investigation and are accusing the driver of negligent bodily harm. [SWR] reports that these legal actions are often seen in accidents in which someone is injured due to negligence. In addition to legal consequences, this can also raise technical questions under civil law.
Legal consequences
Negligent bodily harm is a serious charge that can have significant consequences. In addition to fines of up to 90 daily rates, prison sentences of up to three years are also possible, as enshrined in Section 229 of the Criminal Code. Regardless of this, points can also be imposed in Flensburg, although the penalties can vary depending on the severity of the offense and the criminal record of the person who caused the accident. It becomes particularly problematic if the driver is drunk or has committed other serious violations. [Catalog of fines] makes it clear that even if the accident victims do not report the accident, the person responsible can be held responsible.
Prevention strategies for more road safety
In light of such accidents, it is crucial to raise awareness about road safety. [RechtAktuell] emphasizes the importance of educational programs that draw attention to distracted driving. This also includes measures such as driving safety training and regular vehicle inspections. Schools can play a key role here in making young people aware of the dangers of road traffic.
In a society in which traffic accidents are unfortunately often the order of the day, it is essential that both road users and the responsible authorities do everything they can to minimize accidents. Only by driving carefully and following traffic rules can one hope that such tragic events can be prevented in the future.
