Pedestrians, particularly children, being struck by cars
In the Berlin district of Wedding, a tragic incident occurred involving two injured children. At an intersection, a vehicle drove onto the sidewalk, hitting a group that included children. The 6-year-old child sustained an open fracture, while the 15-year-old suffered skin abrasions. The caretaker was seriously injured.
Meanwhile, in Christophallee, Pforzheim, another traffic accident took place. A 20-year-old was driving a VW bus in a northerly direction on the right lane when he struck a group of children crossing the street. The 6-year-old child, who was among them, sustained severe but non-life-threatening injuries and was taken to a hospital for further treatment.
Both accidents occurred at 16:07, but the exact date is not available. It is worth noting that in the Pforzheim accident, poor visibility was a contributing factor. In both incidents, the city bus was not directly involved.

In the Pforzheim accident, the 6-year-old child and his 15-year-old companion intended to cross Christophallee at the intersection with Hohenstaufenstraße using the provided crossing (heading east). Unfortunately, the city bus on the left lane obstructed their view, which may have contributed to the accident. The accident occurred at a location where a city bus was waiting on the left lane due to traffic.
Our thoughts are with the injured children and their families during this difficult time. It is essential for drivers to remain vigilant, especially in conditions of poor visibility, to ensure the safety of all road users, particularly children.
