Individual struck by vehicle while traversing street

In the heart of Gera, Germany, on February 28, 2023, an unfortunate incident took place at the Hainstraße intersection with De-Smit-Straße. A collision occurred between a 49-year-old driver and an 80-year-old pedestrian at around 10:15 AM.

According to the incident report transmitted by the Gera Police Inspectorate via news aktuell, the driver, who was operating a Seat car, had stopped at the red light. However, despite a green right-turn arrow, the driver failed to notice the elderly pedestrian crossing from right to left.

The 80-year-old woman was lightly injured in the collision. An ambulance was promptly called to the scene to treat her injuries. Unfortunately, the incident report does not provide any details about her current condition.

The investigation into the incident is ongoing, and the official website of the Thuringian Police (http://www.thueringen.de/th3/polizei/index.aspx) is a valuable resource for those seeking more information. The Thuringian Police can also be contacted for further questions at the Gera Police Inspectorate Press Office, which can be reached at phone numbers 0365 829 1503 and 0365 829 1504, or via emails sent to [email protected].

It is important to note that the incident report does not disclose the outcome of the investigation, nor does it mention any witnesses to the collision or any charges or legal actions taken against the 49-year-old driver.

The safety of our community members is paramount, and we urge all drivers to remain vigilant and mindful of pedestrians at all times. Our thoughts are with the 80-year-old woman as she recovers from her injuries.
