Car crash involving pregnant woman
In the heart of Neuss, on Tuesday, June 22, 2021, at around 15:50, a shocking incident unfolded at the intersection of Karl-Arnold-Straße and Josefstraße. A 33-year-old pregnant woman was struck by a dark car as she crossed the road.
The car, turning from Karl-Arnold-Straße into Josefstraße at a relatively low speed, failed to stop and render aid after the incident. The woman was left on the ground, and the driver, without checking on her, drove off.
The Neuss Traffic Commission has launched an investigation into the incident, appealing for witnesses to come forward. Anyone with information is asked to call 02131 300-0.
According to the investigation, the woman was walking on the left-hand side of Karl-Arnold-Straße towards Zufuhrstraße when she stepped onto the road to cross. The identity of the driver of the dark car involved in the hit-and-run incident remains undisclosed at this time.
The commission urges drivers to always exercise caution, especially at intersections, and to stop and provide aid in the event of an accident. This incident serves as a grim reminder of the importance of road safety, particularly for vulnerable road users such as pregnant women.
The community of Neuss hopes for a swift resolution to this case and for the driver to be held accountable for their actions. The pregnant woman, though injured, is reported to be in a stable condition, and the community sends its well-wishes for a speedy recovery.
