According to the data of the Federal Statistical Office, 57.6 percent of the victims of children under the age of 6 were in the car at the time of the accident.

A call to mindfulness

The events strongly remind us of how important it is to take responsibility in road traffic. Each driving mandate should be tackled with care and forward -looking thinking, especially if children ride. These accidents are often the result of misunderstandings or inattentive driving behavior, which could be avoided with a good knack and observing the traffic rules.

Finally, it must also be said that people in the region who feel affected should stick together. The loss of a child has far -reaching consequences and should remind us all how sensitive life is and how quickly it can change. We have to do everything we can to ensure that such tragic incidents do not become a habit.
