On Saturday night, there was an accident between a car and a 94-year-old pedestrian. The reason was that the driver saw the lady too late in the dark. The police warn of the danger in winter.
A 94-year-old female pedestrian was seriously injured in a traffic accident on Saturday around 19:20. The pensioner wanted to cross a street, which is equipped with no street lighting and was thereby captured by a car. The 39-year-old motorist from the district of Erding, despite an evasive maneuver, could no longer prevent the collision.
The 94-year-old was taken to hospital with severe head injuries. The fire brigade was in this accident with ten men in action. The prosecution commissioned a report and ordered the securing of the car.
The police advise in this context:
Watch out for twilight and darkness for bright and, ideally, reflective clothing. Dressed in a dark, you are the earliest from about 25 meters away. This can be too short for a timely pause or dodge. With reflective materials on and reflective fabrics in your clothing, you increase your visibility to up to 150 meters - enough distance and time for you and for motorists to react!
