Herrible speed crossing: Prosecutor investigates after accident death!

A tragic incident shakes the city of Schwerin: over a year after a fatal traffic accident in Lankow, the indictment against the alleged driver has been raised. According to [NDR] (https://www.ndr.de/nachrichten/mecklenburg-vorpommern/nach-to-tlichem-unfallin-schwerin-schwerin-ueberprueft-werden, lankow process100.html) the accident in February 2024, with his 400-PS-Mercedes in a 30 km/h zone, happened with 140 Km/h raced in a small car. In this devastating impact, a 65-year-old woman immediately died at the scene of the accident. Now the public prosecutor's office has charged Schwerin for negligent killing and danger of road traffic against the driver.

The circumstances of the accident are anything but simple. An expert opinion confirms that the driver had health problems and stated that he had a medical seizure. Nevertheless, there are concerns about the indictment: The district court has returned them and ordered further investigations, since there could be more serious allegations that a district court would make responsible. The clarification of these questions requires interrogating other witnesses.

Investigations and public discussion

The investigation dragged on for more than a year and were delayed by elaborate reports and witness surveys. This was also a point of discussion, since the relatives of the deceased woman, including the daughter, doubt the quality of the reports and request an indictment for murder. The lawyer of the co -action argues that the driver acted ruthlessly and the killed was unsuspecting.

The public prosecutor has so far not been failed and has not been able to demonstrate a deliberate killing. Another report mentions an "acute disease event" as a possible cause of the accident, which further fueled the debate about legal responsibility.

speed limits and traffic safety

A look at the traffic rules illustrates the less random choice of the 30 km/h restriction in residential areas. This regulation is crucial for the safety of all road users. Rechtaktuell shows that speed limits not only reduce the risk of accidents, but also protect pedestrians and cyclists. Compliance with these regulations helps to avoid tragic accidents and ensures the life of road users.

If you consider that the driver has to expect legal consequences and a possible endangerment of his driver's license for his actions, it becomes clear how important it is to follow the applicable guidelines. The concerns of relatives and the legal challenges about this tragic case show that the topic of traffic safety is still very popular.

It remains to be seen how the case will develop and whether the main hearing occurs. The decision now lies with the Schwerin District Court.
