Police suspect that the car first hit a tree and then hit the sidewalk with full force. “It happens again and again that young people here push the barriers aside and then drive into the parking lot,” a local resident told the German newspaper. picture†
A police spokesman confirms the suspicion that reckless driving was the cause of the tragic accident. The Volkswagen Golf driver probably lost control of the car around 7:20 pm, after which it fell to the ground and crashed. We secure the tracks on the upper parking deck. It appears that there was some reckless driving that led to this serious accident.”
