Law Enforcement Pursuing Missing Child Investigation
On a sunny morning of April 28, 2025, a traffic accident took place at the intersection of Wiedenbrücker Straße and Dr. Wilhelm-Röpke-Straße in Lippstadt. The incident involved a dark-skinned, approximately 10-year-old boy on a bicycle and a red compact car driven by an unidentified individual.
The boy was traveling in the same direction as the driver at fault, who was turning right onto Dr. Wilhelm-Röpke-Straße. Unfortunately, the driver failed to notice the young cyclist, resulting in a collision and the boy falling off his bicycle.
Fortunately, the boy did not sustain any injuries in the accident. However, his identity remains unknown, and efforts to locate him have been unsuccessful so far.
A 61-year-old witness from Lippstadt observed the accident. The witness was driving behind the driver at fault on Wiedenbrücker Straße. After the collision, the witness approached the driver to inquire about the boy's well-being. It was only then that the driver became aware of the incident.

Witnesses are asked to contact the police department directly at 02941 91000 or the Press Office of the Police Soest at 02921 - 9100 5310 or via email at [email protected].
