Sassnitz shocked: Woman seriously injured on bus after escape from accident!
In Sassnitz, on the popular island of Rügen, there was a dramatic traffic accident in early evening traffic yesterday. At 6:09 p.m., a driver braked abruptly on the B96, which created a dangerous situation for a bus that was driving directly behind. The bus driver was forced to apply emergency braking to avoid a possible collision. However, this decision was to have serious consequences, as two occupants of the bus fell while the driver of the gray car fled the scene of the accident without permission Northern Courier reported.
Among the injured was a 53-year-old woman who suffered significant head injuries in the fall. She was immediately flown in a rescue helicopter to the university clinic in Greifswald. Her condition is serious, which is why medical attention was needed as quickly as possible. Another passenger, a 43-year-old man, fortunately only sustained minor injuries. The bus driver himself suffered a shock from the event, which visibly affected him. The police have filed a complaint against the fugitive driver for negligent bodily harm and hit-and-run News.de reported.
