Child struck by vehicle on road crossing, moments before dashing onto the street

On Saturday evening at around 6 pm, a tragic incident occurred in Fürth's South City. According to the Middle Franconia Police Headquarters, a five-year-old girl was hit by a car on Waldstraße.

The incident took place as a 32-year-old driver was travelling in a Hyundai from the roundabout on Waldstraße towards Nuremberg. The driver, who has not been named in the available sources, was unable to avoid the girl who suddenly ran onto the road.

The girl was taken to a hospital by ambulance following the incident. The driver, it appears, attempted to brake before hitting the child, but it was too late.

Fortunately, the girl sustained only minor injuries. However, no further details about her condition have been provided in the given context. Similarly, no information about the driver's condition was disclosed.

The exact location within Fürth's South City where the incident occurred was not specified. The roundabout mentioned in the incident is located within the same area.

The direction of travel for the Hyundai was from Waldstraße towards Nuremberg. The police are currently investigating the incident, and more details are expected to be released in due course.

This unfortunate event serves as a reminder for drivers to stay vigilant, especially in residential areas and during peak hours, and for parents to keep a close eye on their children near roads.
